New Delhi: Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC) was on Tuesday entrusted the task to attend to dental emergency and to provide complete dental health care to over 7,000 athletes and delegates during the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences (MAIDS), which is a part of the MAMC, will also set up its base in Talkatora Stadium and National Stadium during the mega sports event in October next year.
"Apart from the designated hospitals and Games Village, emergency health service facilities will also be set up at the Games stadiums like National Stadium, where hockey will be played, and Talkatora Indoor Stadium where boxing will take place. Both are dangerous sports and need medical attention. The emergency services will be backed by well equipped ambulances, medical surgeons and support staff," Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said.
"The other areas of health emergency services will be covered by G.B.Pant Hospital. Apart from these nodal health care centres, a state of the art well-equipped, round-the-clock polyclinic will be set up at the Commonwealth Games village."
"These facilities will be operational a day before the Village opens until one day after the Village is officially closed," Dikshit said after inaugurating a dental health fair at MAMC campus.
MAIDS principal Mahesh Verma said, "The hospital is ready for the forthcoming Commonwealth Games. There shall be two operating dental chairs and two dental surgeons posted round the clock in three shift duties. Besides, one Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon shall be on call to take care of trauma of the head at the Games Village." IANS
