Move to make GH safe, in keeping with WHO message

Authorities to restrict entry to hospital, except during visiting hours

---

A patient will be allowed one attender who will be issued a pass

Some entries and exits will be closed and only a limited number of gates be open from today

---

CHENNAI: Taking a cue from the World Health Organisation’s message and theme for this World Health Day (April 7), the State’s largest public healthcare facility, Government General Hospital, is launching a new venture to create a safe atmosphere for all on its own premises.

The WHO theme this year is ‘Save Lives. Make Hospitals Safe in Emergencies.’

“The GH has the best of infrastructure and facilities, and medical experts. But we are aware of the need to bring in some disciplined way of functioning on the campus,” GH Dean (in charge) C.Rajendran told The Hindu. He said that at present there was no means of restricting visitors of patients, leading to safety issues for all – patients and hospital personnel.

“Anyone can walk in anytime, there is no authorisation or clearance. If you consider that there are at least 10 attenders for every patient, we have about 300 inpatients. That is about 30,000 people on the campus, almost constantly,” he added. This is apart from the outpatients, who number between 7,000 and 10,000 every day, accompanied by attenders.

The hospital authorities are going to begin with restricting entry to the hospital, except during visiting hours. While a patient would be allowed one attender who would be issued a pass, any other visitor would have to wait until the visiting hours to come in.

This would not be restricted to the patient attenders, but all staff of the hospital – doctors, nurses, ward boys, ayahs, cleaning staff and security personnel – according to S.M.Chandramohan, head, Gastrointestinal Surgery, GH. Staff had been issued ID cards, which they should produce on demand and to enter the hospital.

There were about 16 entrances/exits through which people could enter the hospital. Some of them would be shut down and only a limited number of gates would be kept open from Wednesday to control the crowds coming in. “Unless we control the crowds, there is no way we can bring down infection levels or even ensure safety of those who are treated in the GH and those who work there,” Dr. Chandramohan said.

According to the WHO, the focus of this year’s World Health Day was on the safety of health facilities and the readiness of health workers who treat those affected by emergencies. The WHO and its partners stressed the importance of investing in health infrastructure that can withstand hazards and serve people in immediate need.

Principal Secretary, Health, V.K.Subburaj said, “These first steps are part of a pilot project. Crowds are a huge problem within our hospitals, almost everywhere. We intend to strictly enforce discipline and restrict entry. This will slowly bring down infection rates too.”

He added that this would be implemented in all government hospitals and health centres eventually.

Top posts vacant in government hospitals

Recruitment delay due to election

Plan to make alternative arrangements

---

CHENNAI: In three major tertiary hospitals in the city, the post of dean/director/superintendent has been vacant, in some cases for several months now.

Health department officials and the Directorate of Medical Education say the delay in filling up the posts is due to the general election.

The Dean of Government General Hospital, to which the Madras Medical College is attached, retired on March 31.

The Director of the Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, to which the Government Women and Children’s Hospital in Egmore is attached, retired several months ago. The Superintendent of Kasturba Gandhi Hospital at Triplicane also retired sometime ago. In none of these institutions the vacancies have been filled.

Senior doctors say the process involves forming a panel of qualified candidates and forwarding the list to the government. Usually, this process is initiated a few months ahead of the retirement of the doctors holding the posts and the panel is ready by March 15 for filling up vacancies arising due to retirement in the next financial year, thereby allowing enough time for the new official to take over.

Government hospitals in Madurai, Tirunelveli, Coimbatore and Dharmapuri also do not have Deans, in some cases for over a year.

Health Secretary V.K. Subburaj, admitting that the elections were delaying the appointment of Deans, said in a week’s time the department would decide on making alternative arrangements.

“Call ‘108’ and save a life”

Important trip: Technicians attached to the Emergency Management Research Institute demonstrating the equipment on the Tirunelveli Collectorate premises on Monday.

TIRUNELVELI: Whenever you happen to see the accident victims battling for life, patients suffering severe chest pain or the pregnant women screaming for help, just dial the toll-free ‘108’. An adequately equipped ambulance with a technically qualified person, being managed by Emergency Management Research Institute (EMRI), will reach the spot within the next 15 to 20 minutes to rush the sufferer to the nearby hospital.

A non-profit organisation, EMRI, founded in 2005 with the objective of providing Emergency Response Service to save the victims, is now operational in eight States, covering a population of over 366 million and responding to 7,500-odd emergency calls with more than 1,400 ambulances.

“While we reach the victims within 14 minutes in the urban areas, the duration is 21 minutes in the rural areas. We’ve so far saved more than 50,000 lives across the country by taking them to the hospital within the ‘golden hour.’ It is a free service and hence the public can make use of it at anytime round-the-clock,” said S.G.S. Lakshmanan, Regional Manager, EMRI, after demonstrating functioning of the equipments installed in one of the ambulances, here on Monday.

As the caller dial ‘108’, the EMRI’s Emergency Response Centre based at Government Kasturiba Hospital, Chepauk, Chennai will receive the call and forward it to the ambulance concerned so that the vehicle will reach the victim within 15 to 20 minutes.

“If the person attending the call cannot correctly get the landmarks near the accident site, he will directly put on the caller to the nearest EMRI ambulance driver so that the problem of identifying the spot will be sorted out within a few seconds,” Mr. Lakshmanan said.

After the Government of Tamil Nadu, under the aegis of Tamil Nadu Health Systems Project, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with EMRI in May 2008 to operate ‘Emergency Response Service’ in the State, 13 well-equipped ambulances with trained persons have been stationed at important places including Tirunelveli City, Vasudevanallur, Tenkasi, Alangulam, Nanguneri, Thisaiyanvilai, Valliyoor, Kadayam, Cheranmahadevi across the district since February 2009.

“Of this, two vehicles are ‘Advanced Life Supporting’ vehicles. While one of these two ALS ambulances is stationed at Tirunelveli City, another one is based at Tenkasi,” said District Manager, Tirunelveli EMRI, R. Sriram.
