Rudrapur medical college to start MRI services within 15 days, reducing costly private tests and||||

Rudrapur Medical College is expected to begin MRI testing within 15 days, offering an important diagnostic facility to patients in Udham Singh Nagar. The service will reduce the need for patients to pay high charges at private diagnostic centres or travel outside the city for scans.

MRI services were not available at Rudrapur District Hospital. Expectations for the facility increased after treatment services began at the medical college. The administration is now completing the installation of the MRI machine and its technical examination.

Service expected after final checks

Medical college principal Dr. C.P. Bhaisoda said MRI testing would be fully operational within 15 days. The planned service will cover scans of several parts of the body, including the brain, spine, knees, shoulders and abdomen.

The facility is expected to be particularly useful for patients who currently need to visit Haldwani or private centres for MRI examinations. It will also allow eligible patients to receive the service within the medical college instead of arranging diagnostic testing elsewhere.

Government-approved charges

According to Dr. Bhaisoda, patients will be charged according to government rates. This is expected to provide relief, especially to people from economically weaker sections who may find private MRI testing expensive.

The service will begin after the machine installation and technical checks are completed. The medical college administration has said the work is in its final stage, but the service has not yet started.

Conclusion

Rudrapur Medical College plans to start MRI testing within 15 days after completing installation and technical checks. Government-approved charges and local access could reduce patients’ travel and private diagnostic expenses.
