BVP Charitable Medical Centre (Indira Holiday Home)
Chandigarh,
Punjab East
 Himachal Pradesh,
Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal, on 6th
May
2012, inaugurated a State of the Art 16 Slice CT-Scan Machine at BVP Charitable
Medical Centre at Indira Holiday Home in Sector-24 Chandigarh. This is the first
of its kind CT scan machine in Chandigarh, Mohali & Punchkula after PGIMER
Chandigarh.
Sh. Dhumal appreciated the role of BVP for lending service to the
community in a charitable manner. National Secretary General S.K. Wadhwa also
presided over the function and appealed to the Administration to provide a
piece of land for providing better services in future. Ajay Dutta, Director,
said, our commitment has always been to bring the latest world class
technologies and equipment to the masses on a charitable basis and we continue
to take such initiatives in achieving this objectives. Our focus is to increase
patient comfort while providing world class health care. Dutta said for the
patient this new technology provides reassurance because the detailed images
captured by the new scanner allow the radiologist to make more accurate
diagnosis.
The new scanner is the fastest machine available and performs multi
slice CT scans including angiography, in a matter of seconds. Multi slice
imaging means that more than one image is recorded at a time. Multi slice
systems reduce the amount of time patients must hold their breath or change
position during their examination. This benefits trauma patients, pediatric
patients and others who are acutely ill. Special filters reduce the amount of
radiation patients are exposed to during the test. The 16 slice scanner is an
upgrade from the single slice machine previously used at the hospitals.
Dutta
also informed that more than 800 patients visit our lab everyday. In 2011-12
more than 5,40,000 patients took the benefit of our center. Shri Chuuni Lal
Bhagat, Minister of Medical Education and Local Bodies announced a grant of `
5,00,000 for purchase of Advanced Visual Field Analysor for Glucoma patients in
our Eye Hospital.

Eye Hospital, New Ultra Sound Machine
and Digital X-Ray Machine Commissioned
 Donors
funding these projects viz: Prof. Gujral, Mr. Sital Prakash, Mr. K
L. Goyal and several volunteers honoured
Punjab Health Minister Laxmi Kanta Chawla
inaugurates new facilities
Chandigarh June 6, 2009:
Facilities of the state of art
charitable diagnostic centre being run by Bharat Vikas Parishad at
Chandigarh stand augmented with commissioning of a new Eye Hospital,
a new ultra sound machine and a digital X-Ray machine.
Punjab Health Minister Laxmi Kanta Chawla
inaugurated the new facilities in the presence of BVP National
President R.P. Sharma and the National Working President I. D. Ojha.
She praised Bharat Vikas Parishad for its glorious record of service
for the people of Chandigarh. L.K. Chawla talked about the
widespread evils like female foeticide, dowry and domestic violence
threatening the social fabric in Chandigarh and neighbouring states
of Punjab and Haryana. She asked the people to do all to give
healthy habits to their children.
According to Ajay Datta, Director of the BVP
Charitable Medical Centre here the new facility of an eye hospital
at the BVP centre has come at a cost Rs. 50 Lakh. Like all projects
of the centre this too will be available to patients at no profit no
loss. The new ultrasound scan machine will be the third such machine
with the centre. The centre performs 150 ultrasound scans everyday
on an average. The non profit centre charges only Rs. 100 for every
scan against market charges of Rs. 400. The machine with a market
price of Rs. 5.5 lakh is from GE and has been funded by a donor.
The Digital X-Ray machine priced at Rs.18 lakh is
to be used for improving the capacity of the centre. Against market
charges of Rs. 200 for each such X-ray BVP is to charge Rs. 60 per
X- Ray. The X-Rays in the BVP charitable centre are already digital.
Advantages of digital X-Ray include time efficiency (it bypasses
chemical processing) and the ability to digitally transfer and
enhance images. Also less radiation can be used to produce an image
of similar contrast to conventional radiography. Its potential to
reduce costs associated with processing, managing and storing films
is significant. The centre has also started offering a new facility
viz thermal ceragem therapy from today, with the help of a
newly gifted Korean machine.
According to Shri Datta the number of patients
visiting the centre for diagnostic tests and medical treatment has
gone up to 500 per day as compared to average of 400 patients per
day last year. The centre has a staff of 50 and is being run with
the support of over a dozen selfless volunteers who regularly devote
time to help run the services.
Parishad today honoured donors for
funding these projects. The philanthropists honoured today include
Prof. A.S. Gujral, Shri Sital Prakash, Shri K. L. Goyal. Several
volunteers working with the project without any honorarium were also
honoured on this occasion.
