The current crisis caused by the second wave of the pandemic made us set up a 10 Bed ICU/HDU and 10 Bed Isolation facility for the city, coupled with the prediction of another wave around the end of the year we need to increase the number of COVID Beds and its supporting infrastructure.

The infrastructure requirements for the upgradation of the COVID facility include Oxygen Plant, Ventilators, Monitors, Syringe Pumps, ECG Machines, Defibrillator, Ultrasound Machine and a Transport Ventilator.

We placed an order for Oxygen Generator with Airox Technologies Pvt. Ltd. for a 58 cylinder per day capacity at the cost of Rs. 85,86,000/-. We have been able to raise Rs. 57,54,000/-, and we are seeking donations for the balance amount.

Thoughts from the doctors

The vision of Rotary Ambala Cancer and General Hospital is to provide services in the area where patients do not have enough time to reach Chandigarh or means to spend the money required for the treatment.
In line with our vision recently we started Neuro-Intervention (Brain Stroke Management) at our hospital by replacing our old Cath-Lab with a new GE state-of-the-art Cath-Lab first of its kind in North India beyond New Delhi. It is a hybrid lab that caters to interventional cardiology, neurology, radiology, oncology, and gastroenterology. Excellent imaging quality coupled with less radiation scatter to the patient and the operating team is the hallmark of this lab. It has opened greater vistas of advanced interventional work. The first five cases done by the intervention doctors including pacing, diagnostic, therapeutic cutaneous interventions have seemed less, increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of patient care by leaps and bounds. The Rotary Hospital Ambala also offers comprehensive treatment for acute stroke including clot lysing (thrombolysis) injections and mechanical removal of clots from the brain vessels( mechanical thrombectomy). The hardware and software complement each other to give a great end result thereby improving safety and efficacy for the patient and the user.
