EARLY TIMES REPORT
BANDIPORA, Apr 2: Keeping up its endeavour to extend a helping to the people, Dawar army camp of Snow Leopard Brigade airlifted a pregnant lady stranded at Dawar for last four days.
A top army official said that on April 1/2020, Dawar army camp of Snow Leopard Brigade received a requisition from civil administration for evacuation of Zytoona Begum, resident of Satni Village located very close to the Line of Control (LoC) who had been critically ill.
She was a case of Molar Pregnancy with excessive bleeding resulting in low Haemoglobin and needed urgent surgery.
She was under the close monitoring of civil and Army medical team at the Hospital at Dawar. Finally, the patient was evacuated from Army Helipad in Gurez at the first available opportunity late afternoon today, the army official told early times.
He said that the threat of COVID-19 further added to the procedures of evacuation, adding Dawar has a civil hospital with limited advance diagnostic and treatment facilities. In these difficult times of the Corona pandemic, the medical team of Dawar army camp and Sub district hospital in Gurez has achieved a high degree of cohesion and synergy with an aim to provide medical aid to locals and Army personnel alike.
With the pooled resources of Army and Civil Administration, a quarantine facility has been created at Dawar in which five civilians who had recently returned from Bandipora have been quarantined.
Soldiers of Snow Leopard Brigade activated the Gurez Helipad at short notice and the critically ill patient was continuously monitored before she could be evacuated by helicopter.
Army official further said that a pregnant lady is presently undergoing treatment at Lal Ded Hospital at Srinagar.
It is pertinent to mention here that the Gurez Valley is cut off from the rest of the Kashmir Valley due to high snow levels at Razdan Pass.
The prevailing bad weather conditions for last four days did not afford any window of opportunity to the Army to evacuate the patient by air.. |
