1st dedicated NP Burn Unit of Central India
Wanadongri-based 520 bedded multi super specialty Shalinitai Meghe Hospital & Research Centre has launched a cutting-edge Burn Unit, equipped with specially designed negative pressure rooms to provide advanced care for patients with burn injuries. With the addition of these innovative facilities, SMHRC Hospital solidifies its commitment to offering the highest level of treatment and recovery support for individuals in need.
The Burn Unit at SMHRC has been meticulously crafted to address the unique challenges faced by burn patients. The inclusion of dedicated 5 negative pressure rooms is a significant step forward in ensuring optimal care and infection control within the unit. Negative pressure rooms are engineered with a specialized ventilation system that creates a controlled environment. This system continuously pulls air out of the room, filtering it before being released, effectively minimizing the risk of airborne contaminants. By implementing this technology in the Burn Unit, SMHRC enhances patient safety and prevents the spread of potential infections, which is crucial in the treatment of burn injuries.
In addition to the negative pressure rooms, the Burn Unit at SMHRC offers a wide range of
comprehensive services and amenities, including a dedicated burn care team & experienced specialist Dr. Siddharth Mendiratta-Plastic Surgeon & Burns Specialist who is well-versed in the latest advancements in burn treatment. The burn unit is backed by a qualified IDCCM and NABH-accredited Critical Care Unit led by Dr. Neha Agarwal and an advanced OT Complex led by Dr. Pratibha Deshmukh. This unit is equipped to provide a multidisciplinary approach to care, addressing all aspects of burn injuries from initial assessment to long-term rehabilitation.
The Burn ICU has individual patient beds equipped with advanced monitoring systems,
ventilators, and other life support equipment. Being based in an NMC & NAAC-validated teaching hospital, the Burn Unit houses a dedicated team of full-time intensivists, psychiatrists, physical therapists, and psychologists who collaborate to provide comprehensive care and rehabilitation on the round a clock basis. This integrated approach aims to restore functionality, enhance independence, and support patients’s emotional well-being.
Dr. Anup Marar-SMHRC Director added that the introduction of negative pressure rooms in the Burns Unit at SMHRC demonstrates the social commitment of Meghe Group led by Shri.Sagarji Meghe to advancing patient care and safety. It further reinforces SMHRC’s position as a leading ethical healthcare provider, ensuring that individuals with burn injuries receive world-class treatment for all patients of Central India at the most affordable charges.
