Fortis Medics treat over 5000 quake victims in Nepal

New Delhi, May 22 (IBNS): The team of doctors and medical care professionals from Fortis Healthcare Limited (Fortis) has treated and vaccinated more than 5000 victims affected by the horrific serial earthquakes that struck Nepal earlier this month.

The team was among the first to reach the interiors of Nepal, crisscrossing difficult terrain and putting their personal lives at risk. They carried with them over 3.5 tonnes of medical supplies, essential medicines and basic daily necessities to provide emergency help to the quake victims.

The team organised 9 OPDs at Najra and treated over 600 patients in a matter of just four hours. At Godamchur, many patients were treated by the Fortis team for depression and shock.

The devastation was almost complete in Debachaur where 155 people lost their lives.

As many as 272 patients were treated here. At a picturesque village Sermathangat, the team treated and vaccinated over 150 people while at Thampal Dhap, another 480 were provided medical aid and treatment.

Fortis has rushed emergency medical supplies including antibiotics, anti-infectives, general medicines and medical sutures to take care of first line surgical stabilization. The team has received substantial logistical support from the Nepalese army in negotiating the quake hit areas.
