Today at the Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC) in Pune, Lt Gen Daljit Singh, Director General of the Armed Forces Medical Services (DGAFMS), inaugurated a new X-Ray Irradiator in the Department of Immunohematology and Blood Transfusion (IH&BT).
This advanced equipment is set to provide significant health benefits, particularly for immunocompromised patients and newborns, by helping to reduce the incidence of Transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease (TA-GvHD).
Established in 1948 following the recommendations of the BC Roy Committee, AFMC has a storied history as the first medical college in Asia managed entirely by the Armed Forces.
The college is renowned for its comprehensive training programs for medical undergraduates, postgraduates, dental postgraduates, nursing cadets, and paramedical staff.
As a pivotal institution, it supplies a full spectrum of specialists and super specialists to the Indian Armed Forces, reinforcing its critical role in military healthcare.
The introduction of the X-Ray Irradiator is expected to enhance the college’s capabilities in providing state-of-the-art medical care to its patients, furthering its mission of excellence in military health services.
