No Machine is Dysfunctional in Radiation Oncology Department of GMC Srinagar
The hi-tech linear accelerator (TruBeam) machine installed in the Radiation Oncology department of GMC Srinagar is fully functional. Linear Accelerators, also known as linacs, are devices used to treat cancer, most commonly for external beam radiation treatments. The functioning of this vital machine depends on constant cooling, which is maintained by the air conditioners already installed.
Due to the unprecedented rise in temperatures and to ensure the optimum functioning of the machine, patient treatments are now being conducted from 5 am. This schedule accommodates the 50-55 patients receiving this treatment daily.
Government Medical College Srinagar is committed to providing the best treatment to its patients while ensuring uninterrupted patient care services.
