LUCKNOW, Sept. 4 -- The 25-bed cardiology unit at Balrampur Hospital is set to resume operations after remaining shut since 2023. The unit closed after cardiologists posted there retired one by one, with the OPD shutting down following the retirement of the sole cardiologist in 2023.

The process of reactivating the unit will commence with his posting, after which admission and treatment services will be made available. HTC...
