Aims and Objectives of Uttarbanga Health City Forum
The Uttarbanga Health City Forum aims to develop a Health City. Health cities are designed to offer comprehensive healthcare services and facilities to promote wellness, provide medical treatment, and support research and education in the healthcare field. While the specific facilities may vary depending on the location and purpose of the health city, here are some common facilities that are typically provided:
1. Hospitals: Health cities usually have state-of-the-art hospitals equipped with modern medical technology and facilities. These hospitals cater to various specialties, including general medicine, surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, cardiology, orthopedics, oncology, and more.
2. Clinics and Outpatient Centers: Health cities often include clinics and outpatient centers that provide specialized care for specific medical conditions. These may include specialty clinics for neurology, dermatology, ophthalmology, ENT (ear, nose, and throat), dentistry, and other branches of medicine.
3. Research Centers: Health cities often house research facilities dedicated to medical and healthcare research. These centers support advancements in medical treatments, drug development, clinical trials, and scientific research related to healthcare.
4. Rehabilitation Centers: Health cities may have rehabilitation centers that focus on physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other forms of rehabilitation to aid in the recovery and improvement of patients with disabilities or injuries.
5. Diagnostic Centers: Health cities typically have advanced diagnostic centers equipped with imaging technologies such as MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), CT (Computed Tomography) scanners, ultrasound machines, and laboratory facilities for various diagnostic tests and screenings.
6. Wellness and Preventive Care Centers: Health cities emphasize preventive care and wellness promotion. These centers provide services such as health check-ups, health screenings, vaccination programs, nutrition counseling, fitness centers, and lifestyle management programs.
7. Medical Education and Training Facilities: Health cities often have medical colleges, nursing schools, and training centers to educate and train healthcare professionals. These facilities may include lecture halls, simulation labs, libraries, and research facilities.
8. Telemedicine Services: With the advancement of technology, health cities may incorporate telemedicine services, enabling remote consultations and medical advice through digital platforms. This allows patients to access healthcare services from a distance and facilitates medical collaborations across regions.
9. Supportive Infrastructure: Health cities may also provide supporting infrastructure, such as accommodation facilities for patients and their families, pharmacies, ambulatory services, emergency medical services, helplines, and administrative offices.
