Lack of ICU at Super Specialty Hospital in Srinagar costing patient lives, alleges DAK
Srinagar: Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) on Monday expressed concern over lack of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in Super Specialty Hospital at Shireen Bagh which runs under the administrative control of Government Medical College (GMC), Srinagar.
“Non-availability of ICU is costing lives of patients,” DAK President Dr Nisar ul Hassan alleged in a statement issued here on Monday.

He said it beats logic that a hospital with advanced surgical and medical departments is without an ICU. “A 10-bedded ICU is already constructed in the hospital, but is non-functional due to lack of staff,” he added.
Dr Hassan said ICU is life-saving for sick and wounded as it provides critical care for patients with severe or life-threatening illnesses and injuries who require constant care from life-support equipment like ventilators.
