J&K: Govt adds 8 more ventilators in GMC Baramulla
The Jammu and Kashmir administration has already ordered the procurement of 700 ventilators for hospitals in the UT amidst the COVID-19 crisis.;
Baramulla: The Jammu and Kashmir administration has provided eight more ventilators to the Government Medical College Baramulla, the nodal hospital treating COVID-19 patients not only in the district but the entire North Kashmir.
The procurement of the life-saving machines was facilitated some days back by the Jammu and Kashmir Medical Supplies Corporation Limited, a government undertaking entrusted with supplies of medical equipment to government hospitals in the Union Territory (UT).
Other COVID-19 dedicated hospitals of the UT have also been provided with more ventilators. The relatives of COVID-19 patients and the local municipal councilor appreciated this step taken by the UT government as it will help the patients who were earlier suffering due to the shortage of ventilators.
"We would like to thank the UT Government for providing ventilators to GMC Baramulla. Earlier the hospital was in a bad shape. Ventilator facility was not available here due to which we had to refer patients with serious illness to other places," said Abid Salaam, councilor Baramulla.
