ACTREC operates under Tata Memorial Centre (TMC)
ACTREC (Advanced Centre for Treatment, Research, and Education for Cancer) operates under Tata Memorial Centre (TMC). The centre was established in 2001 and has been growing ever since, expanding from 130 beds to now a 465-bed hospital, with plans to become a 900-bed hospital in the future. With the increase in patient beds, the demand for advanced medical equipment has also risen.
The director of ACTREC had a vision of having one monitor per bed, especially with a specific need for cardiac equipment to monitor vital signs in critical areas such as the ICU, operation theatre, and patient wards. Recognising this need, the Rotary Club of Bombay was approached to help facilitate the procurement of monitors. The Rotary Club of Bombay has donated 35 monitors, comprising 17 high-end machines and 18 medium-end machines, to cater to the diverse needs of the hospital.
The HFNC machines provide significant benefits by reducing the risk of nasal bleeding, improving ventilation and oxygenation for patients. They are also equipped with batteries for emergency situations, enabling smooth transitions between hospital buildings when required.
The Rotary Club of Bombay extends its heartfelt gratitude to Ms. Nancy Barbie for her efforts in securing funds from the Rotary Foundation and CSR India Grant, and support from past Rotary International Director Rtn. Mr. Kamal Sanghvi, who inaugurated the handover ceremony on 15th June 2014.
At the handover ceremony were IPDG Sandeep Agarwalla, Rtn. Kamal Sanghvi, Rtn. Miral Shah, PP Vijay Jatia, IPP Vineet Bhatnagar, President Manoj Patodia, PE Satyan Israni, and Programme Director RCB Tanvi Golatkar, all representing the Rotary Club of Bombay. Special thanks are given to IPDG Sandip, PP Vineet, and TRF Chairman PP Vijay Jatia for their immense contributions to the success of the project. President Manoj Patodia and his team are also appreciated for their continuous support throughout the endeavour. The handover ceremony of the HFNC machines and multipara monitors at Tata ACTREC marks a significant milestone in enhancing patient care facilities at the hospital. With the installation of state-ofthe- art equipment, including cardiac monitors and HFNC machines, the hospital is better equipped to cater to the increasing number of patients and their critical care needs.
Sincere gratitude to the Rotary Club of Bombay and all individuals involved in making this project a success. Your contributions are truly valued.
