The trauma centre includes

- Incudes special surgery equipment to operate on patients with injuries to the
- Radiology Suite for
- xrays,
- CT scans,
- MRIs,
- ultrasound etc and
- 112 Trauma Beds.
- Special wards for trauma patients
This new centre will help save lives after serious accidents. It will also reduce the disability that can follow a bad fall, road traffic accident etc.
