“Our emphasis is to provide better health services and infrastructure at this government-run facility so even people from the low strata could avail the services in their locality,” Dr Lal said.
Jalore: Considered to be a district with lesser healthcare facilities until now, Rajasthan’s Jalore cannot be counted among the backward districts anymore, at least when it comes to healthcare facilities.
Even until the recent times, due to lack of facilities, most critical patients had to go travel long distances to get treatment. However, thanks to a newly-inducted team of senior doctors at the Mother and Child Hospital (MCH), the hospital saw successful deliveries of nearly a dozen newborn babies through incisions in the abdomen and uterus of mothers, a process commonly known as caesarean delivery, in a span of two weeks.
The hospital administration said that the appointment of a senior Obstetrician and Gynaecologist in the recent past, presence of anaesthesiologists and a resident doctor at the hospital has helped to ensure smooth delivery of babies even when the cases appeared complicated.
Senior Obstetrician and Gynaecologist Dr Champa Lal, who was appointed at the mother and child facility located at the district headquarter during mid-March, has reportedly formed a team consisting Dr Lala Ram Choudhary (anaesthesiologist), Dr Abhishek Patel (anaesthesiologist) and Dr Ritika Shrivastava, a resident doctor perusing her post graduation in obstetrics and gynaecology at the hospital, which has also conducted hysterectomy surgeries.
Talking about the improvement of health facilities at the hospital, Dr Champa Lal said that with the expertise of a team of the doctors, patients of gynaecology living in Jalore are getting health facilities in close proximity. “Our emphasis is to provide better health services and infrastructure at this government-run facility so even people from the low strata could avail the services in their locality,” Dr Lal said.
“We have been taking care of severe and complicated cases to ensure best healthcare facilities at district level. We have ensured delivery of 11 babies through caesarean in which mothers had some complications. In the past, such cases were referred to hospitals in big cities but here we have successfully tackled them,” he said.
