Coordination Meeting Held at RIMS to Ensure Smooth Medical Services


Special Focus on Emergency Ward Cleanliness and SOP for "Brought Dead" Cases

EW Correspondent, Ranchi: A coordination meeting was held under the chairmanship of Deputy Commissioner Manjunath Bhajantri at the administrative building auditorium of Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS). The meeting included discussions with district administration officials, RIMS Superintendent, administrative officers, and heads of various departments. The primary agenda of the meeting was to ensure that patients visiting RIMS receive proper treatment without any hurdles. Deputy Commissioner Bhajantri emphasized the importance of maintaining cleanliness in the Trauma Center and Emergency Ward at regular intervals and instructed that cleaning be carried out every few hours. To address the bed availability issue, it was decided that a live display board will be installed, enabling the attendants of patients to check the real-time availability of beds. The Deputy Commissioner also directed that essential medicines and surgical items should always remain in stock to avoid inconvenience. A proposal was made to verify the attendance of doctors, nurses, and other staff in OPD through magistrates as per the duty roster. This step will ensure punctuality and smooth functioning of OPD services, ultimately benefiting the patients. Deputy Commissioner Bhajantri stressed that doctors must attend OPD sessions on time, ensuring timely consultation and reducing patient waiting time. SOP for Brought Dead Cases Addressing another significant matter, the Deputy Commissioner instructed the RIMS administration to draft a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for cases where patients are declared "brought dead" in the emergency ward. The SOP will aim to streamline the process and provide support to the relatives of deceased patients. Discussions were also held regarding the appointment of hospital managers to enhance administrative efficiency at RIMS. The Deputy Commissioner reviewed shortcomings observed during a recent surprise inspection of the Emergency/Trauma Center and Blood Bank. He provided necessary directions to address these issues promptly. Additionally, instructions were given to the concerned officials to ensure that the approach roads to the Emergency and Trauma Center remain encroachment-free, allowing smooth and unhindered access for patients. The meeting highlighted a comprehensive plan to improve medical services, ensuring better treatment facilities and smoother administrative processes for patients and their families at RIMS.

India’s Highway Dream Is Costing Us a Fortune — And Nobody Is Asking Why?

There is a photograph that the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways loves to circulate. A freshly laid six-lane expressway stretches into a golden horizon. Smooth asphalt. Clean white markings. The kind of road that makes you believe, for a brief and generous moment, that India has arrived. Minister Nitin Gadkari has built an entire political identity around such photographs — and to be fair, he has earned some of it. When I began my career as a cost engineer on national highway projects in 2010

HEATWAVE CONDITIONS AND STATES’ FAILURE TO CONSERVE & PLANT TREES

Temperature soared across the entire European continent in the latter half of June and early July. France, the Netherland and Belgium recorded 3700 excess human deaths and authorities warned that these numbers are preliminary and may even rise. People above 50 years of age accounted for larger proportion of the deaths. Several deaths are reported due to persons drowning in water bodies; those who did not know swimming also jumped in deep water to beat the heat and perished.

Revisiting Religious History In India: Temples, Myths, and the Politics of Memory

The contemporary struggle over religious monuments in India cannot be understood without revisiting the deeper historical questions that underlie it: the nature of “Hinduism” in the past, the evolution of temple architecture, the role of Buddhism under state patronage, and the present-day politicisation of Islamic-period monuments. Taken together, these questions reveal not only a contested past but also a deliberate project of mythmaking in the present, designed to forge a unified religious-national identity by cultivating hostility toward Muslims.
