After 14 years of it’s existence Agartala Govt Medical College (AGMC) has successfully conducted three Neurosurgery, on the third day of the opening of Neurosurgical unit.

According to Superintendent of GBP hospital of AGMC Dr Ranjit Das, the first neurosurgery was conducted successfully in the newly set up unit in the wee hours of yesterday. A team of experts headed by Dr Siddha Reddy carried out the four hours long surgery of one 65-year-old Anil Debnath of Melaghar.

He had been suffering from an intracranial hemorrhage and going through a critical condition. The Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb and Health minister Sudip Roybarman congratulated the doctors and the medical team for the success. In separate messages both the ministers thanked the people of the state for giving them opportunity to serve the state, which have been a long due for Tripura.

Chief Minister Deb said, “Not only in healthcare, people have started see the change in education, agriculture and urban development less than a year. BJP-IPFT government is committed to make Tripura a model before the country with the help of the Central government.”

“I am happy to bring a visible change in the healthcare system of Tripura and bring back the faith of the patient on us within a year our government. We are committed to upgrade the healthcare system like a metro city; so that people need not to move out for treatment rather we shall bring outside people here to get healthcare from Tripura,” said Sudip Roybarman.

The government is all set to promote medical tourism if everything falls in right place, a number of patients from the neighbouring states and country will be seen availing the state’s healthcare services, he said, adding that shortly few more Neuro-specialists have been joining in AGMC along with other critical care experts.
Roybarman hoped this will not only reduce the number of referral cases but also play an important role in providing timely treatment to the patients. The dedication and hard works of doctors, nurses and other health staff is the key tool for delivering healthcare services properly and the government could able to pass the message to all of them that no negligence would be entertained.
