“We are happy that there was no mortality among the shelling victims brought to the GMC Hospital. Six patients are still undergoing treatment and two of them are admitted in intensive care units,” Singh, who represents the Udhampur Lok Sabha constituency of Jammu and Kashmir, told reporters.
Among the two patients admitted in the ICU, one is responding satisfactorily to the treatment while the condition of another remains critical.
“I have myself served in the hospital for decades together and it is satisfying to note that the hospital is equipped with all types of vital equipment necessary for managing critical cases. Not a single patient was referred outside which speaks volumes about the institute,” he said.
He lauded the role of the management, medical and paramedical staff and said the hospital lived up to the expectations during the four days of the challenging situation. PTI TAS TAS MNK MNK
