Manipur’s first-ever Tele-ICU Hub including a 10-bed ICU ward was inaugurated by Chief Minister N. Biren Singh on Tuesday at the state-run Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Medical Sciences (JNIMS), Porompat, Imphal East.
The newly inaugurated Tele ICU will be supported at District Hospitals and Community Health Centres of different districts. With the Tele-ICU facilities, patients being treated at Intensive Care Units (ICU) in different districts hospitals and other Tele-ICU supported hospitals will be able to access observation by specialist doctors through the hub set up at JNIMS.
Terming health as first priority, the Chief Minister maintained that there shouldn’t be any compromise on the quality of equipment procured for use in hospitals and health centers. The state would not tolerate this matter, the Chief Minister said.
According to officials, JNIMS will not only act as the teleconsultation hub but share expertise and provide handholding support to the doctors in district hospitals in the delivery of critical care services in rural areas.
