Government Institute of Medical Sciences launches advanced paediatric orthopaedic surgery facilities in Greater Noida

The Government Institute of Medical Sciences (GIMS), Greater Noida, with support from Healthium MedTech’s CSR initiative and implemented by Plan International India Chapter, is now fully equipped to undertake advanced paediatric orthopaedic surgeries.

In a major boost to child healthcare, the institute can now treat conditions such as developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), clubfoot, limb deformities, fractures and complex bone disorders.

With the installation of specialised equipment including the Midas Rex MR8 High Speed Electric Drill System, Paediatric Hip Plating Set, Paediatric and Small Bone Drill & Saw System, Paediatric Orthopaedic Instrument Set and a C-Arm Machine, GIMS is now ready to deliver precise, safe and age-appropriate surgical care for children.

India faces a significant burden of paediatric orthopaedic conditions, with 1 to 2 percent of children born with disorders such as clubfoot, and many others developing deformities due to trauma, infections or untreated conditions. In states like Uttar Pradesh, limited access to specialised care often delays treatment, increasing the risk of complications, disability and higher costs.

Addressing this gap, the strengthened infrastructure at GIMS is expected to benefit over 1,000 children annually, enabling timely interventions and reducing the need for referrals outside the region.

Speaking at the launch, the Chief Guest, Dr G.N. Singh, Adviser to the Chief Minister, Uttar Pradesh said, “This initiative reflects our commitment to ensuring that every child, regardless of background, has access to quality and timely healthcare. Strengthening public health institutions through such partnerships is essential to building an inclusive and equitable healthcare system.”
