The 100-bed Rangpur Shishu Hospital (RSH) with all necessary modern facilities is expected to be launched by September, paving the way for providing modern healthcare to children in Rangpur division.
Modern Facilities and Equipment
The hospital will be equipped with all modern treatment facilities, equipment, and specialist physicians. It will have an emergency section, outdoor section, doctors' chambers, and laboratories on the first floor. The second floor will have operation theaters and a borne unit, and the third floor will have wards and cabins.
Addressing Healthcare Needs
Currently, it is difficult to provide specialized health services to the large number of children at the only pediatric department in Rangpur Medical College Hospital. The launch of the RSH will provide relief for parents, allowing them to ensure treatment for their children at lower costs.
Construction and Progress
The 100-bed modern RSH was built on 1.78 acres of land in the former Sadar Hospital premises. The construction of the three-storey hospital building was implemented by the Health Engineering Department in the first phase, spending about Taka 31.49 crore in 2019. The process of purchasing necessary equipment and furniture and recruiting manpower is almost at its final stage.
