Srinagar, Dec 20: Assessing the situation New Delhi based BLK Super Specialty Hospital has dedicated its eminent team of cardiolology headed by Dr Ajay Kaul to visit the state once a month and provide medical help to the patients who cannot go out of the state very often.
Dr Ajay Kaul, Chairman and HOD Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, BLK Super Specialty Hospital, is in Srinagar today to conduct an OPD in Khyber Super Specialty Hospital, said, "Case of Coronory Heart Disease (CHD) and Rheumatic Fever is prevalent here and many time patients find it difficult to fly down to far of places for treatment. This worsens the situation even further and patients land up with more complex issues. BLK team will visit different parts of Jammu and Kashmir to conduct free OPDs and help patients provided best medical support in their own state."
Such initiatives will help those patients who return after critical heart surgeries and find difficult to visit back regularly for consultation. Such patients will get to meet good doctors easily for advice and necessary medications, added Dr Kaul further.
Regular OPDs will be conducted in different parts of the state especially where CHD and Rheumatic Fever is prevalent, informed Dr Kaul.
Crude prevalence rate of CHD in urban areas of Jammu and Kashmir have a prevalence rate of 6-10%. The rates in the rural areas are 6-7% in Jammu and Kashmir. In the state of Jammu and Kashmir the population like any other developing community, is undergoing lifestyle changes but the unusual stress and strain for the last 15 years of the disturbed situation in the state apparently has contributed to increase the prevalence of CHD. |
