Hyderabad: To accommodate more number of patient records to be kept in safe custody, Basavatarakam Indo American Cancer Hospital & Research Institute inaugurated a new medical records facility at its premises on Saturday. With this expanded facility, the medical records department can provide solace to cancer patients who are forced to visit the hospital for years. The facility was inaugurated by Nandamuri Balakrishna, Chairman, BIACH&RI, after performing traditional rituals.

Speaking on the occasion, Nandamuri Balakrishna explained that several cancer patients have to visit the hospital for a few years for treatment and also for review, thus forcing hospitals to keep the records for a period of ten years.  As the numbers of patients are increasing day by day due to increase in bed capacity, it is imperative for the hospital to expand the medical records facility, he said.
