The General Manager in the presence of Smt.

He also inaugurated the Web Portal and SMS Facility of Laboratory Report Generation which ensures an enrolment of Dr.BAMH for various External Quality Assurance Schemes (EQAS) at AIIMS New Delhi and Christian Medical College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu on a reciprocal basis.
He also inaugurated the state of art 3D Imaging Centre of the Department of Dental, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. It is equipped with a 3-Dimensional Cone Beam CT Scan Machine (more popularly called a 3D CBCT Scan ) by leading Digital Dental Solution provider Dentsply Sirona costing Rs. One Crore. This 3D CBCT Scan has been jointly funded by Indian Railways as well as by CSR support of Rs. 46 Lakhs from the Indian Railway Finance Corporation. With it’s successful commissioning, there has been a quantum jump in the ability of Dr.BAMH to offer digital solutions to a patient’s dental problems in a “Single Visit” as 3D CBCT enables the Dental Surgeon to take immediate in-house treatment decisions. Dr.BAMH is the only hospital of Indian Railways with this facility and only one of 20 odd facilities in Mumbai. Shri Lalwani was appreciative of the presence of two Part Time Dental Surgeons and a Dental Hygienist in the Department to fully utilise the 5 numbers of Dental Chairs and was apprised of the need to deploy the services of an in-house CBCT Scan Technician at the earliest.
