In August 2021, we introduced the blood transfusion programme in the Pasha Wing. Throughout the year, thousands of animals were treated, and hundreds rescued by our team of committed workers. Additionally, more than 21,000 street animals were vaccinated for free as part of the CGS Hospital vaccination drive.
During the financial year 2023-24, 3632 OPDs were undertaken, around 345 surgeries were conducted, 3175 vaccines were administered to stray animals. As part of tests, 1570 animal cases were given radiological treatments, and 1710 laboratory tests were done. These treatments were offered either free of cost or at highly subsidized rates on a case-to-case basis.
To further support the coexistence between humans and street animals, we also run awareness programs where we inform pet parents, school children and general audiences about pet care, zoonotic diseases and how to behave around street animals.
Over the years, CGS Hospital veterinarians have actively participated in numerous national and international veterinary training and conferences and have won several appreciation awards. CGS also received the award for Best Multi-Speciality Hospital of the Year 2019 by World Health Care Achievers Ltd.
Additionally, during the financial year 2022-23, a Physiotherapy Centre was created at the CGS Hospital in Gurugram. The Physiotherapy Centre is providing therapeutic care for performance enhancement, treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, post-operative rehabilitation, and enhancement of quality of life for animals with degenerative conditions.
To ensure the availability of quality medical care for small animals in Delhi, this year a new branch of the CGS Hospital was established in Sarojini Nagar in partnership with the DLF Foundation. The new veterinary care centre in Delhi has been equipped to offer surgical care, diagnostic services, daycare, and grooming services, and also has a separate OPD and IPD for dogs and cats. It has a dedicated team of experienced veterinary doctors alongside an in-house pharmacy and pet store as part of the facility. This facility is expected to serve around 5000 cats and dogs in a year in an endeavour to support the healthcare needs of animals in Delhi.
