GRH dean Arul Sundaresh Kumar said there were some complications with the contractors for the construction of the new ward. “Dust from C&D waste is being managed with proper netting and waste is also being regularly cleared away,” he said. Expected to be completed in March, construction presses on and patients continue to use the old paediatric ward and cancer centre, which also has overcrowding issues. The current paediatric ward will be turned into a refurbished cancer care ward, and the new pediatric ward is expected to have better facilities and more beds.
