Plans for 2018

Orchid Medical Centre is one of the leading super specialty hospitals in Ranchi and is considered amongst the top hospitals of the state of Jharkhand. The hospital offers super specialty services in cardiology, neurology, gastroenterology, nephrology, pulmonology, orthopedics, and critical care.

2017 has been a very eventful year for Orchid Medical Centre, with big-ticket biomedical purchases. We set up an MRI unit by purchasing a 1.5 T Philips Achieva MRI. This MRI with silent scan technology is the first of its kind in the state and has greatly helped in enhancing the diagnostic capability of our doctors. The state-of-the-art MRI wing was designed with help from Philips and is widely considered the best MRI setup in the city.

Along with MRI, we also set up a Neuro ICU. This nine-bed ICU is equipped with Maquet Servo-i ventilators, multiparameter monitors from GE, Mindray’s infusion pumps and defibrillators. We also offer bedside EEG monitoring for patients admitted to the neuro ICU and this facility too has been provided for the first time in the state. In keeping with our vision of providing the best healthcare services to the people of the state, we were successful in getting our pathology lab NABL certified.

We also set up a cosmetic dermatology and plastic surgery unit this year. The unit offers cosmetic laser treatments, plastic and reconstructive surgery, body contouring, as well as hair-transplant. Our nephrology department also underwent significant capacity expansion with the addition of new dialysis machines and setting up of a new 16-bed dialysis unit. With the increase in workload from neurology and orthopedics, we upgraded our physiotherapy department and now offer rehabilitation along with specialized neuro physiotherapy.

A high dependency unit of six beds was also set up for patients requiring a lower level of care than the patients in the ICU with the intention of reducing the cost of hospitalization for long stay patients requiring dedicated nursing care. A new specialty of pulmonology was also added to our hospital and along with it, the necessary equipment like bronchoscopy, sleep lab (polysomnography machine). Our sleep lab (Philips Respironics Alice 6) is a very advanced sleep lab and is the best such equipment in the state.

For the new year too, the hospital management has ambitious plans. We plan to complete the NABH accreditation process and in keeping with this plan, we plan to change our hospital management software. We are already in discussion with several vendors and hope to finalize in the next few weeks. As our pathology laboratory is now NABL, we plan to upgrade the microbiology department by adding an automated culture and sensitivity analyzer. We also plan to upgrade our CT scanner as the existing machine, which in keeping with our vision of providing the very best in healthcare, is due for a change. Several dialysis machines may need to be added along with more ventilators to keep up with the anticipated patient load. We also plan to upgrade our ultrasound and echocardiography machines.

We also plan to start a super specialty eye department this year with its own dedicated OTs. This department will be equipped with the latest diagnostic equipment like OCT, lasers, operating microscope, phaco machine, operating lasers etc.

Upgradation of hospital facilities is a continuous process and is needed in order to provide the best healthcare services as it gives the doctors the ability to make an accurate diagnosis and provide the best treatment for their patients. We hope to be able to continue with our endeavor of being a technology leader in the field of healthcare in Jharkhand while providing high-quality, ethical healthcare services in a cost-effective manner and be the hospital of choice for both patients and doctors.
