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 made a shocking revelation about cigarette and its harmful effects. As the recent study by the French National Center for Scientific Research, cigarette is the main reason of causing stress among people. Nirmal Singh 3C finds it pretty ironical that on one hand people smoke so as to vent out their stress and frustration, while on the other hand it is pilling more on the heap of stress. This has been further substantiated by a news story published in Efe which says:  an exposure to nicotine cause more stress rather than calming a person up. This is in fact causing rise in anxiety-inducing in smokers. The study has been produced after checking lab mice. The centre’s head of research, Philippe Faure, said: "(The experiments) suggest that nicotine could enhance the effects of stress." Nirmal Singh 3C further finds that the Scientists from the University of Paris-Seine's Neuroscience Laboratory and the University of Nice Sophia Annapolis' Inst
