During natural disasters, it was becoming difficult to manage the investigations, like Blood Tests & X-Ray etc., if, there was any breakdown of the main equipment, since a lot people in the locality are dependent on PPT Hospital. Portable X-Ray will be useful to make x-Ray examination of patients at the bed side of the seriously ill patients. Previously, it was required to move the patient for such examination. Further, X-ray examinations of suspects of COVID-19 are now possible in the Flu OPD (Acute Respiratory Infection OPD), situated totally outside the main hospital building, minimizing the chances of spread of cross infection. Previously, such X-ray examination was being performed in the Radiology Department, situated inside the main hospital building, which was being mandatorily sanitised, thereafter.
