Ghaziabad MMG Hospital To Partner With Yashoda Medicity For ICU Digitisation And 24-Hour Care

Critically ill patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of District MMG Hospital, Ghaziabad, will soon benefit from advanced medical support through a collaboration with Yashoda Medicity, Indirapuram. An official Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two hospitals is expected to be signed shortly.

In the first step towards the partnership, a three-member team from Yashoda Medicity visited MMG Hospital’s ICU on Monday to assess the available medical infrastructure and equipment. The hospital currently has a five-bed ICU, which will be digitised under the new collaboration. This upgrade will enable real-time consultations between doctors at both hospitals through video conferencing.

A central control room and a 24-hour internet facility will be established to ensure seamless coordination. According to CMS, Dr Rakesh Kumar Singh, the initiative will significantly improve the quality of critical care and bridge the gap between public and private healthcare services.

Yashoda Medicity, equipped with modern facilities and specialist doctors, will assist MMG Hospital in improving the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of ICU patients. The collaboration will also involve data exchange, joint training programmes, and round-the-clock patient monitoring. If successful, authorities plan to increase the number of ICU beds in the future.

The ICU at MMG Hospital was inaugurated in December 2024, but has faced challenges due to a shortage of ventilator beds, manpower, and compatible equipment for surgeries. The new partnership aims to address these issues and enhance the hospital’s critical care capacity.
