A grand inauguration ceremony was held at the Government Medical Dental College & Hospital, Nagpur, to mark the launch of a new high-tech Modular Operation Theater (OT) and India’s first advanced Simulation Lab.
The new facility was inaugurated by Hon. Shri Chandrashekhar Bawankule, Minister of Revenue and Guardian Minister of Nagpur, in the presence of Hon. Shri Ashish Jaiswal, Minister of State for Finance, Fund Assistance, Rehabilitation, and Agriculture.
The event was also graced by key medical and administrative dignitaries including Dr. Raj Gajbhiye, Divisional Director of Medical Education and Research; Dr. Abhay Datarkar, Dean of State Dental College and Hospital; Dr. Prashant Pandilwar, Head of Department; Dr. Varsha Manekar, Dr. Mangesh Phadnaik, and Dr. Dheeraj Kalra, alongside hospital staff and officials.
Key Features and Benefits of the New Modular OT:
Contamination Control:
The modular OT is equipped with advanced systems such as HEPA filters and laminar airflow to minimize the presence of bacteria and dust, ensuring a sterile environment for surgeries.
Easy Cleaning and Sterilization:
The OT surfaces, including walls and ceilings, are smooth, simple, and antibacterial, making them easier to clean and disinfect.
Quick Installation:
Built using pre-fabricated units, the modular OT was set up much faster than traditional operation theaters.
Flexible Design:
The modular structure allows easy future upgrades or modifications, offering long-term adaptability.
Safety and International Standards:
Designed as per WHO and NABH standards, the OT ensures a high level of safety for both patients and healthcare professionals.
Energy Efficiency:
Equipped with advanced air handling units and insulated panels, the new facility promotes energy conservation.
Easy Maintenance:
The modular system makes routine maintenance simpler, and any parts can be easily replaced as required.
Simulation Lab: A First in the Country
As a major leap forward in dental education, the hospital has introduced India’s first state-of-the-art Simulation Lab. With three advanced simulation chairs, students can now gain hands-on experience in a highly realistic, safe, and controlled environment.
The lab is fully equipped with essential tools for learning X-ray techniques and dental procedures. Students will be trained using real dental equipment and modern treatment techniques on typodont teeth, enhanced through 3D technology. This initiative is expected to significantly boost the skillset and confidence of future dental professionals.
The launch of this facility marks a milestone for medical and dental education in India, setting a new benchmark in infrastructure and training.
