RGH Lacks ICU Facility; Accident Victims Lose Crucial Golden Hour .
Rourkela: Accident victims brought to Rourkela Government Hospital (RGH) often have to be referred to private hospitals for advanced treatment due to the absence of an operational Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The referral process reportedly consumes nearly an hour of the critical golden period, potentially putting the lives of seriously injured patients at risk.
To address this concern, Santosh Biswal, representative of Rajya Sabha MP Dilip Ray at RGH, has submitted a memorandum to the hospital director, demanding that accident victims requiring critical care be allowed to go directly to private hospitals without losing valuable time in the referral process.
He has also urged the hospital authorities to make the newly constructed Intensive Care Unit at RGH operational at the earliest to ensure timely treatment and save precious lives.
