These departments will be shifted-

10 super specialty departments from Indira Gandhi Medical College, Shimla will be shifted to Chamiyana. These include neuro surgery, cardiology, CTVS, plastic surgery, urology, nephrology, pediatric surgery etc. The government has started recruiting para medical staff for the hospital. This recruitment will be done through commission. Doctors are being deployed for the hospital.

Letter given to HRTC to improve the traffic system-

At present, only one bus goes to reach Atal Super Specialty Medical Institute, Chamiyana. In which only doctors travel. Although sometimes this bus makes two rounds, but there is a lot of crowd in this bus. At present, the condition of the road is also bad. In such a situation, the hospital administration has also requested HRTC to start additional bus service. At the same time, PWD has also been requested to make the road concrete soon.

The hospital administration says that all OPDs can start here continuously only after getting transport facility. The condition of the road going to Atal Super Specialty Medical Institute (Chamiyana) is very bad. Due to this, there was reluctance in shifting the department. Now the Urology department has asked to shift the OPD by next week. On an average, more than 200 patients come to the OPD to get treatment for their diseases. Due to this, there is a lot of crowd here.
