Noida: The District Hospital will soon offer MRI scans. The investigations will be free of cost, intended at helping out the economically weaker sections.
Among the government facilities, only the Government Institute of Medical Sciences in Greater Noida has an MRI machine, which charges Rs 3,500 per scan and is 35km from the district hospital.
According to health officials, private MRI scans often cost over Rs 6,000, making them unaffordable for many individuals.
The chief medical superintendent at the hospital, Dr Renu Agarwal, said that the radio-diagnosis department of the hospital will have an MRI machine under public-private partnership (PPP) mode.
The process will be complete by April.
The hospital currently has CT-scan machines that conduct around 40 scans every day. Since the district hospital campus shifted to the new building in Sector 39, the health officials have been expanding the healthcare facilities.
The District Hospital opened a neonatal intensive care unit in August 2023.
Now, a blood bank is also there on the campus of the hospital for round-the-clock availability of blood in emergency cases.
