Bhubaneswar: AIIMS Bhubaneswar on Wednesday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Swami Vivekanand National Institute of Rehabilitation Training and Research (SVNIRTAR), Cuttack for academic, research and patient care.
Patients of AIIMS Bhubaneswar’s neurology, neurosurgery, orthopaedics, burn and plastic surgery, paediatrics and medicine like departments can be referred to SVNIRTAR for rehabilitation like physiotherapy and occupational therapy. Similarly, SVNIRTAR can send their patients for specialised treatments.
AIIMS Bhubaneswar executive director Ashutosh Biswas said that two prominent national institutes will work on referral of patients apart from research in specialised areas. He also emphasized on scope of expansion for rehabilitation care to other patient groups such as cardiovascular, mental and cancer.
He said the MoU has also aimed to design various short term academic programmes in the form of fellowship, collaborative research, conduct symposia, colloquium, workshops, seminars and conferences on selected topics and areas to train students in both the institutions.
Now SVNIRTAR students are going to SCB medical college and hospital at Cuttack for internship and other needs. These students can also come to AIIMS Bhubaneswar for this purpose, said the official sources.
This collaboration aims for human resource development in the area of rehabilitation, tertiary prevention, biomedical engineering and technology. It will help in developing academic credit sharing mechanisms under various programmes according to the provisions under the national education policy (NEP) 2020, said the official sources.
“Being India’s largest locomotor rehabilitation care, SVNIRTAR has been providing a wide range of rehabilitative care like physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, prosthetics and orthotics. The collaboration will give an opportunity for exposure to acute care at AIIMS Bhubaneswar so that the rehabilitation facility can be programmed and initiated at a very early stage,” said SVNIRTAR director PP Mohanty.
Biswas and Mohanty signed the MoU here to jointly work on several aspects for holistic rehabilitation care.
