| Over 3,500 babies born in hospitals in Kashmir during floods | | | Srinagar, Sept 23 : More than 3,500 babies were born in government hospitals in Kashmir at the peak of devastating floods that affected most of the tertiary care hospitals in the Valley.
Nearly 2,300 normal deliveries and 1,260 scisserean sections were conducted from September 4 to 20 in various hospitals of Kashmir which were functional during this period, an official spokesman said today.
The spokesman said statistics now available show that 5,77,595 patients came to the OPDs in all the district hospitals across the Kashmir Valley during the fortnight ending September 20.
"Nearly 34,600 patients were admitted for treatment while 1,435 major surgeries and 1,03,160 lab tests were conducted at these hospitals," he said.
During this period, 145 medical camps were set up, including 62 in Srinagar city, and essential medicine were provided in most of the areas, the spokesman said.
Despite having suffered losses to the tune of Rs 100 crore, the SMHS Hospital authorities set up a free medical camp in which patients suffering from diabetes, hypertension and other chronic ailments were given consultation and treatment.
The Bone and Joint Hospital Barzulla was made functional immediately after the floods. The out patient department of Lal Ded and G B Pant hospitals have been made functional after water was drained out and clean up operations conducted yesterday. |
