CONSERVATION OF ENERGY   Steps taken or Impact on Conservation of Energy   The operations of the Company are not energy-intensive. However, significant measures have been taken to reduce the energy consumption by using energy-efficient equipments. The Company has implemented the following additional Energy Conservation Measures during the Financial Year 2019-2020.   Boiler and Kitchen fuel conversion from HSD/LPG to PNG (Piped Natural Gas)   One of the boiler burner was converted into PNG as fuel instead of HSD, which is proved to be safe and environmental friendly besides cost effective operations. There was savingof Rs: 1, 48, 80, 257.00 ( Rupees One Crore Forty Eight Lac Eighty Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Seven only) during the period (June-19 to May20).   The project cost :Rs 16, 72,904.00.   Proposal   DG Set fuel conversation kit installation for HSD and PNG both in 30:70 ratio for FY-2020-21   It is proposed for converting the DG sets with duel fuel kit. HSD and PNG shall be used to run DG Set in ratio of 30:70.It will result in saving of Rs. 17 lacs - 27 Lacs per year approximately depending on load and fuel sharing.   Project cost: Rs.33 Lacs per DG    

TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION   In its continuous endeavour to serve the patients better and to bring healthcare of international standards within the reach of every individual, your company has introduced the latest technologies in its hospitals.   Endoscopy Cart for GI Surgery ICG (Indocyanine Green) – Enhanced Fluorescence Guided Laparoscopic Surgery Initially, Indocyanine green (ICG) was used in clinical applications to measure cardiac output, to study the anatomy of retinal vessels and to determine liver functional reserve before hepatic resection in cirrhotic livers. ICG dye can be injected into the human blood stream with practically no adverse effects. ICG becomes fluorescence once excited with light of a specific wavelength in the NIR spectrum delivered by a Xenon Light source or NIR Laser device. Fluorescence can be detected using specific scopes & cameras, then transmitted to a video screen, thus enabling the observer to visualize the areas of anatomical interest where the dye has accumulated (eg: Biliary ducts, vessels, lymph nodes.) In the recent years, ICG-enhanced fluorescence has been introduced in laparoscopic surgery to improve visualization and provide detailed anatomical information during the surgery. ICG- enhanced fluorescence imaging provides for improved visualization of the biliary duct system and tracing the flow of bile, intraoperative evaluation of lymphatic drainage, sentinel lymph node mapping, identification of vascular anatomy, and for perfusion control of solid organs, colon and rectum. The video camera is connected to an ICG Laparoscope (Manufactured By KARL STORZ) equipped with a special filter for optimal reproduction during ICG- enhanced florescence and standard white light imaging.  Switching from standard white light mode to near-infrared mode is simply done via foot-pedal control. Cost involved there in for endoscopy system is approx. Rs 25 lacs. Anesthesia Machine for OT Area The 9100c NXT is the new upgraded platform of Wipro GE’s gold standard product 9100c. This is ideal solution for clinicians seeking a precise, versatile and dependable anesthesia system and has neonatal capabilities and ventilation modes that make it a versatile choice for all types of day care, low-medium acuity and multi-specialty hospitals. It is based on GE/DatexOhmeda's legacy of 100+ years of innovation and trust. This product is scalable across a wide range of patient groups and surgical procedures. The cost involved therein is approx. Rs 20 Lacs. EECP Therapy System for Cardiology EECP© is a Non-Invasive treatment for patients with refractory angina and heart failure. Enhanced External Counter Pulsation (EECP) is performed as a non-invasive treatment to lower the number and intensity of angina episodes. Treatment is administered through three pairs of external inflatable cuffs that are applied around the lower legs, upper legs and buttocks. These cuffs continuously inflate and deflate between the resting period of the heartbeat and increase blood returned to the heart.   The basic principle of EECP treatment involves increasing the amount of blood returning to the heart, which helps supply more oxygen to its starved areas. With more oxygen available, the heart can function much more efficiently and therefore reduce chest pain.  Cost involved there in for EECP Therapy System is approx. Rs 50 lacs. C-Arm Cios fit for Ortho Surgery This is a smart dose management system specially designed for the Cios C-arm family. It continuously analyses each and every one of the image sensor pixels and constantly optimizes their dose efficiency. The result is an always optimized balance of image quality and dose as well as automatic contrast and brightness regulation. Automatic metal exclusion and optimized balance of image quality and dose. Integrated dose measuring chamber with automatic transfer of the accumulated dose into a radiation report. Cost involved there in for C-arm System is approx. Rs 21 lacs.   Vitek MS for microbiology VITEK® MS is an automated mass spectrometry microbial identification system that uses Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-of-Flight (MALDI-TOF) technology.  NEW!  After recent additions of my cobacteria, Nocardia and moulds, the VITEK ® MS comprehensive CE - marked database now also includes Brucella, Candida auris and Elizabeth kingiaanophelis. In just minutes, VITEK® MS can provide single-choice identifications at the species, genus, or group level. With both VITEK® MS and the VITEK® 2, clinicians receive quick information to adjust therapy for better overall patient care and outcomes. bioMérieux’s proprietary Advanced Spectra Classifier offers robust and accurate results needed for optimal patient-care decisions. The VITEK® MS system reads each spectrum as a series of peaks that are detected and sorted by mass and intensity. With the use of the Advanced Spectra Classifier, better discrimination is provided as every peak is considered in the calculation of the identification result. . Cost involved there in for Vitek MS System is approx. Rs 1.4 Cr.
