| Winter chill causes infant deaths : Taj | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Jan 17 : Rejecting the reports about official negligence being responsible for the infant deaths in two major pediatric hospitals of the valley, Minster for Medical education Taj Mohi-ud Din today stated that winter vagaries pose main threat to the newborn babies.
"The winter is the main reason for the infant deaths in valley and the babies being brought from far flung areas are already involved in several diseases till they reach the hospitals," Taj said.
He said that the valley hospitals are fully equipped with the latest technologies and that the doctors there never show any neglect during the treatment. "I am proud of the hospitals we have in valley and I am sure that there is no negligence on part of the hospital staff."
Denying the reports that the hospitals do not have the proper heating facilities, he stated that the special teams have been deputed to make sure that the hospitals do not show any negligence in providing basic facilities to the patients at large.
"The reality is that presently the babies being brought to the hospitals are already involved in several diseases including pneumonia and other chest diseases," he said, adding that the absence of proper heating system in the far off villages is becoming the main reason for the infant deaths.
The Congress minister stated that the babies admitted in the hospitals are generally two or three days old and that the chilling winter already affects them at large. "We have done the proper research that reveals that the chili-a-kalan is the main reason for babies getting involved in the chest disease and the deaths become natural."
"The doctors take extra care during these situations but they need prayers more than medicines," Taj said. |
