Government Doon Medical College Hospital in Dehradun will strengthen security in its emergency department by deploying 3 police personnel. The move is intended to prevent clashes and improve safety for patients and their attendants.
The police outnear the emergency department currently has one police personnel. Hospital administrators have discussed expanding the security arrangement with the district magistrate.
The hospital is also preparing several changes to manage its heavy patient flow. An additional gate and a new waiting area are being developed near the emergency department. A separate arrangement for sample collection and report distribution is also being created near the main entrance.
Hospital officials said the new sample and report system, scheduled to begin this month, will directly benefit about 200 to 250 patients each day. The separate arrangement is intended to make access to these services easier and help organise movement within the hospital.
Internal administration and complaint review
Government Doon Medical College principal Dr. Geeta Jain and medical superintendent Dr. RS Bisht outlined the planned changes. 3 deputy medical superintendents have been assigned responsibility for running the hospital’s internal arrangements.
An investigation into a complaint related to commission-taking by employees has been completed. A detailed report has been sent to the directorate. The available information does not state any final finding or disciplinary decision in the matter.
New services and hospital facilities
The hospital aims to start D.M. Cardiology and plastic surgery services by the end of this month. These additions are part of a plan to expand its super-specialty services.
A new mess and canteen are also being arranged on the hospital campus. An advanced laundry facility is expected to become fully operational this month, alongside the other patient-support improvements.
The planned changes cover emergency security, patient waiting arrangements, diagnostic-service access and basic campus facilities. Their immediate importance for patients will depend on the proposed systems becoming operational as scheduled.
