Key Accomplishments
- Completed Construction of Phase 1 of New Mother & Child Health Block - Bundelkund has one of the highest maternal and infant mortality rates in India. The hospital has been actively promoting prenatal care in the surrounding villages, leading to an increase in the number of women seeking reproductive and child health care in the hospital. In order to provide better care and services to the community, the hospital planned a new mother and child block to provide complete prenatal, maternity, neonatal, and paediatric care. The construction of phase one was completed last year and work has started on phase two. It is hoped that better facilities will lead to lower maternal and infant mortality in the community.
- Reopening of Nursing School - The Nursing School which was closed down for three years pending inspection and recognition by the State Nursing Council was reopened on October 1, 2006. A fresh batch of nursing students was admitted in October 2006 for the GNM course. The school has also been recognized as a centre for the ANM certificate course of IGNOU.
