J&K: Newly constructed trauma hospital in Anantnag converted to COVID-19 treatment centre, patients appreciate
Srinagar: The trauma hospital at Bijbehara in Anantnag, which was constructed recently, is now used to serve as COVID-19 treatment centre for pregnant women.
“During this pandemic, we have converted this 100 bedded trauma hospital into COVID facility for positive pregnant women, as we have all modern facilities like ventilators available here,” Dr BS Tulla Medical Superintendent of the facility, told ANI.
Dr Samreen, Medical Officer posted at the hospital informed that the facility has a dedicated medical team that is available round the clock for the patients.
“I hope more such hospitals are opened in the area so that people do not have to travel for treatment, and more lives are saved,” she told ANI.
Patients have thanked the hospital authority for transforming the hospital to COVID-19 treatment centre.
Sajad Ahmad, whose wife tested COVID positive a week before her delivery said the normal hospital would not have been able to handle the sudden complication in her delivery, and travelling to Srinagar or Anantnag could have been fatal.
“On the day of her delivery, she was shifted to this facility dedicated for pregnant women with COVID-19 infection. Our child was delivered here free of cost. The staff was always available on call, and very helpful. We are thankful that such a facility is opened here or otherwise we don’t know how we would have managed,” Ahmed told ANI.
