Ranchi/Chatra: The governing body of Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences on Wednesday met virtually and approved the purchase of a CT scan machine with 256 slides and three RT-PCR machines which are essential for treatment of Covid. The meeting was presided over by state health minister Banna Gupta and attended by members, including state health secretary K K Soan, Ranchi MP Sanjay Seth, Kanke MLA Samri lal and others.
The decision comes after the state health department received flak from the high court last week which had said that it is a shame for the state largest hospital that it doesn’t have a CT scan machine which is essential for treating patients with lungs infection, especially those who have contracted Covid.
