On the experience of Child PGI in Noida, he said that while working as Director in Child PGI, he worked with a positive aim. Along with this, many facilities have also increased in the hospital. AIIMS Bhopal will be a bigger institution than Child PGI.
There will be challenges too, although the opportunity to work will also increase. In such a situation, the challenges will be worked out. Work will be done to establish the institute in the best institute through service, management and education.
In AIIIMS there are only about 875 beds which were to be 960 beds two years ago. Patients are suffering due to insufficient beds. Also, 305 posts of faculty are sanctioned but only 210 are working. Due to this many departments are not functioning properly.
If there are some, then their capacity is less. Patients coming from outside are not able to get treatment on the day of registration, they have to wait.
