Government Rajaji Hospital Dean D.Maruthupandian, in a status report filed before the Madurai Bench of Madras High Court on a contempt plea which sought the installation of Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET-CT) scanners to treat cancer patients at the hospital, submitted that the process was under way.
The commissioning process could be initiated only after the approval of Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB), Mumbai. Given the nature of the equipment, a special building had to be constructed to house the equipment. As the PET-CT scanner was a heavy radiant equipment, AERB had stringent rules and regulations for installation.
The PWD authorities had submitted a total estimate of Rs. 35 lakh towards construction which had been forwarded to the Director of Medical Education for fund allocation, the report said. The GRH had entered into an agreement with Aravind Krishna Hospital in Virudhunagar for equipment services.
Taking cognisance of the report, a Division Bench of Justices K.K. Sasidharan and P.D. Audikesavalu adjourned the case. The court also sought the agreement copy entered upon by GRH and the private hospital. The case was adjourned to November 16 for further hearing.
