The Rajasthan Health and Medical Department has issued strict orders to keep Jaipur hospitals in emergency mode on the auspicious occasion of Diwali. Under this, strict instructions have been given to keep burn units, trauma centres, and all emergency services fully active.
The department believes that the apprehension of burn injuries from firecrackers, eye injuries, and road accidents in crowded markets increases significantly. In such a situation, the promptness of hospitals is extremely essential. All concerned hospitals have been given clear instructions to immediately ensure the availability of necessary medicines, equipment, and adequate staff.
Emergency arrangements
Special resources have been mobilised for burn victims in the burn unit. Meanwhile, accident victims will receive immediate treatment at the trauma centre. The relieving part is that doctors, nurses, and other medical staff have been asked to remain alert on duty 24 hours.
Additional workforce has been deployed for emergency duty so that patients do not have to wait for treatment even during the night. The department has laid special emphasis on the continuous supply of life-saving medicines and medical equipment.
Local impact
The administration has appealed to the residents of Jaipur to exercise utmost caution while bursting firecrackers. Wear glasses for eye protection and drive vehicles at a slow speed in crowded areas. In any unpleasant or emergency situation, immediately contact the emergency ward of the nearest hospital.
