LESS INVASIVE TREATMENT

NDMC dental hosp starts expansion to reduce waiting time

In 2022, the average number of monthly patients at the hospital was 7,558, which has now increased to 8,580. Only 16 doctors are available to attend to them at OPD and for minor surgeries, said Upadhyay. “Most of the time, doctors are helpless as most dental procedures need some time and may also need to address unexpected complications. The longer waiting periods also add pressure on doctors,” the proposal stated.
