The software designed by Dr Wakhlu is not only economical but also very user friendly and adaptable in all departments. Since the EC has approved it,the system will be ready for use within the next three to four months, said CSMMU Vice-Chancellor Dr Saroj Chooramani Gopal.

The total expenditure of putting the records will be between Rs 30 and 45 lakh and will be of great help for patients who till now had to carry bulky records from one place to another, said Dr Gopal.
