LLR hospital to get new blood bank building soon

KANPUR: Lala Lajpat Rai (LLR) hospital will soon get a new blood bank building for which a detailed proposal of constructing the building with Rs 4.7 crore budget has been submitted by the hospital administration to the state government.

Besides, people have to rush to the GSVM campus from LLR premises in order to get blood on time.
Dr RC Gupta of LLR hospital said that a detailed proposal of the new blood bank building has been submitted to the state government. "The budget for the proposed building is 4.7 crore which will be constructed near OPD in LLR premises. Keeping in mind the inconvenience caused to our patients in the past, we have decided to relocate the building," Dr. Gupta said.
