Amritlal Bairava would be replaced by Jagjit Singh, a senior medical professional from Kota Medical College. Four other pediatricians will also join the paediatric department.

"The broken window panes have been replaced with poly carbonate sheet which is unbreakable. We are renovating a room which will be converted into a nine-bed newborn intensive care unit (NICU)," said Suresh Dulara, the hospital superintendent.
