In a significant stride towards strengthening healthcare delivery for railway employees and the general public, Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has undertaken a series of proactive initiatives to upgrade
medical infrastructure and promote preventive healthcare across its jurisdiction.
As part of this endeavour, advanced medical equipment including a Steam Sterilizer Autoclave machine and a state-of-the-art Lasotronix Laser Diode System have been installed at the Central Hospital, Maligaon. These modern installations will significantly strengthen infection control measures, enhance surgical precision and ensure safer, faster and more effective treatment, thereby elevating the overall standard of patient care.
Further enhancing hospital facilities, the Newly Renovated Male Surgical Ward at Central Hospital, Maligaon was inaugurated recently by Chetan Kumar Shrivastava, General Manager, NFR, in the presence of senior railway officials. The upgraded ward features improved infrastructure and patient-centric amenities, ensuring greater comfort and quality care for beneficiaries.
Reinforcing its emphasis on preventive healthcare and community wellbeing, NFR organised 126 multipurpose health check-up camps across its divisions. These camps offered comprehensive medical consultations, health screenings and awareness programmes, benefiting railway employees, their families and local communities while promoting early diagnosis and healthy lifestyles.
Adding to these achievements, Alipurduar Division has earned the prestigious distinction of receiving 10 ‘Eat Right’ Station and Campus Certificates from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). This recognition underscores the division’s strong commitment to food safety, hygiene and nutritional excellence at railway stations and campuses.
Collectively, these initiatives reflect Northeast Frontier Railway’s holistic and people centric approach towards healthcare excellence, employee welfare and public service, reaffirming its commitment to safe, reliable and compassionate railway operations.
