Mumbai: JJ Hospital opens separate OPD ward for respiratory patients amid rising pollution
Mumbai: Amid the increasing pollution in the city, Mumbai's JJ Hospital has opened a separate OPD ward to provide emergency treatment to patients suffering from respiratory problems.
"Pollution is increasing in the country and Maharashtra, especially in Mumbai, hence there is a possibility of an increase in the number of patients suffering from respiratory diseases. In view of this, JJ Hospital of Mumbai has started a study on respiratory diseases," JJ Hospital said.
Respiratory patients can get treatment in the special OPD from 8 am to 12:30 pm. Such patients will be treated in casualty or emergency wards any time after noon.
Daily report of the number of respiratory patients will be submitted to the senior office every day.
"If the number of respiratory patients increases, another separate ward will be opened," JJ Hospital added.
