The Diplomate of National Board (DNB) courses will soon start at the central super specialty hospital (CSSH) of East Central Railway (ECR) at Karbigahiya end of Patna Junction. The course is equivalent to MD/MS course, for medical students.

“While the Railway Board has approved the proposal to start DNB course at CSSH, the process is on to obtain permission from other medical bodies,” ECR general manager L C Trivedi said at a function to mark the 12th foundation day of the hospital on Friday.

“This hospital is not only providing medical care and treatment to the railway employees of the ECR zone, but also to patients from other zonal railways,” Trivedi said, adding the departments of dental, eye, heart and gynaecology are well equipped to provide advanced medical treatment to the patients.

Addressing the scientific session of the function, titled ‘Covid-19: A medical challenge’, CSSH medical director Dr R K Verma said, “Even though the pandemic was a new experience for doctors at the hospital, they showed strong commitment and sincerity to serve COVID-19 patients,” he said.

He added the 200-bed CSSH has 39 doctors and 250 paramedical staff. “On an average, about 900 patients, including retired railway employees, visit the hospital daily either for consultation or treatment,” Dr Verma said, adding the annual budget on medicines is Rs 7 crore for this hospital.

Doctors from AIIMS-P, IGIMS, Patna, and other hospitals of the city also participated in the scientific session.
Danapur divisional railway manager (DRM) Sunil Kumar also addressed the function.
