The Waltair Division of East Coast Railway has set up an Emergency Medical Room (EMR) on Platform no.2 and 3 at Vizianagaram railway station in collaboration with Maharajahs Institute of Medical Sciences (MIMS Hospital), Nellimarla. The move is intended to provide round-the-clock emergency medical care to railway passengers.

Divisional Railway Manager Lalit Bohra commended the dedicated efforts of the Chief Medical Superintendent Dr D. Sharath Babu and the medical department in implementing this important emergency service. He expressed optimism that similar medical facilities will be extended to other important railway stations in the region.
