Recognizing that the hospital environment\u2019s safety, hygiene, and service quality are paramount, PGIMER has adopted a zero-tolerance stance toward any lapses or misconduct by contractors engaged in providing essential services such as canteen and parking facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prof.Vivek&nbsp;Lal, Director PGIMER,&nbsp;<\/strong>reaffirmed the institute\u2019s unwavering commitment to upholding the highest standards of integrity and safety<a><\/a>as he stated, \u201cPatient safety and overall well-being are our top priorities. Any breach of contractual obligations that compromise the hospital environment will be dealt with firmly and decisively.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Director PGIMER&nbsp;<\/strong>further emphasized<strong>,&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cWe are dedicated to maintaining a secure, clean, and efficient environment for everyone at PGIMER\u2014be it patients, researchers, or students. Any contractor found negligent or non-compliant will face appropriate action, including criminal proceedings if the situation warrants.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent weeks, PGIMER has identified some instances of non-compliance and negligence by contractors that jeopardize the safety and comfort of those on campus. In response, the institute has initiated stringent action against erring contractors, including issuing termination orders where necessary. These measures are part of PGIMER\u2019s broader drive to uphold the highest standards of service and to ensure that patient care is not compromised by ancillary service deficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, PGIMER is actively exploring innovative solutions to revamp its service systems. As part of this initiative, a proposal has been put forward to transfer the management of hospital canteens to the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC). This move aims to enhance quality, hygiene standards, and customer satisfaction through professional management and proven operational excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharing about the proposal,&nbsp;<strong>Mr.Pankaj&nbsp;Rai, Deputy Director (Administration), PGIMER<\/strong>&nbsp;shared, \u201cThere is a pressing need to overhaul our service delivery systems to better serve our patients and staff. Partnering with IRCTC, known for its robust catering and hospitality services, could be a significant step forward in this direction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mr.Pankaj&nbsp;Rai<\/strong>&nbsp;further elaborated, \u201cIn line with the institute\u2019s commitment to continuous improvement, PGIMER has already engaged student volunteers under Project Sarathi to help manage patient inflow, which has proven to be beneficial.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u201cPGIMER has received approval to hire 300 ex-servicemen as security personnel, who will be deployed at all critical areas to supplement our existing security team. These security personnel will be hired within a month, and this initiative will further enhance our ability to manage patient and visitor well-being more effectively,\u201d stated the&nbsp;<strong>Deputy Director (Administration).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the institute\u2019s administration has assured that all contractual arrangements will be regularly monitored, and any irregularities will be dealt with firmly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PGIMER\u2019s leadership emphasizes that these measures are part of a comprehensive strategy to uphold the institute\u2019s commitment to maintain the highest standards of service delivery, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chandigarh: PGIMER reaffirms its unwavering commitment&nbsp;to&nbsp;safeguarding the well-being of patients, attendants, staff, and visitors.
