AAP Govt Asks Hospitals To Promote The Use Of CATS Ambulance For Pregnant Women


Nirmal Singh 3C is glad to know that the Delhi government is coming forward to make the best use of ambulance service, Centralised Accident and Trauma Services (CATS), so as to transfer women to and fro from the hospitals. This move has come into effect due to underutilization of services.
The ambulance service is also used for inter-hospital transfer of pregnant women as per the directives given to the hospital.

“Presently, in comparison to institutional deliveries, utilisation of CATS ambulances for transportation of pregnant women for delivery and also for dropping home is very less and needs to be improved. All hospitals and medical institutions are requested to utilise CATS ambulance for this purpose by calling the centralised control room on the toll free number ‘102’,” said the circular.
It is going to be a beneficial move as it helps women in getting the right services. As of now, more than 3.2 lakh institutional births took place in Delhi at various locations, including: hospitals, nursing homes and other health facilities.

Nirmal Singh 3C would like to quote a Delhi government official, who said: “Currently, when it comes to maternal services, only 50% of our capacity is utilised. We want more women to take help of these free facilities during pregnancy and after child birth.”
“The problem is that many people do not know that the CATS ambulance can be used to get a drop back home after a delivery. So, people end up arranging their own conveyance,” the official added.
This facility will also include the infants who need special care or treatment at a higher centre.

Nirmal Singh 3C condemns the recent incident, where two newborns witnessed death right outside the hospital as there was not sufficient machinery, such as ventilators. The Chief Minister asked all hospitals to ensure that the ambulance services are equipped with all the requisite instruments and ventilators before the patient is referred.

Nirmal Singh 3C thinks is highly important to maintain the health sector in a country. One cannot at all overlook the significance of better medical services, which is the need of the hour.

Nirmal Singh 3C finds an interesting study that says a child forms a strange dislike to the vegetables which indeed has nothing to do with their parents. According to a new study, due to genetic mutations, youngsters try new foods while many other are fussy eaters. Nirmal Singh 3C thinks that this study will help in paving way for children who are fighting with childhood obesity epidemic.  According to a new research in the US, DNA is linked with the kind of taste a toddler would develop which is why they are fussy about their eating habits which is why they develop a bitter taste at the age of four.

People generally blame parents for children being fussy about their food habits, however that is not the case, as it is a matter of nature and not nurture. This was further corroborated by Natasha Cole
