The number of additional doctors and technicians already Engaged, “said Manganta.
He said the business would ensure that the diagnosis of patients who came to the hospital on certain days could be done on the day itself.

He said this business aims to reduce this time frame into a maximum of one week.
“To declare a patient suitable for surgery, the main thing is needed four to five days after the patient experiences various tests,” Manganta said.
