Udupi: Administration gears up to face corona’s third wave, acquires paediatric ventilators


Daijiworld Media Network - Udupi (SP)

Udupi, Jul 14: The second corona wave has been flattening out. The experts have warned about the third wave that is likely to hit the health of the citizens hard shortly. In view of this, the district administration here has, as a precautionary measure, taken steps to acquire medical equipment. 

The district already has enough ICU beds. The district also possesses all the medical equipment used to treat elders and senior citizens. As the district has enough hospitals, treating people in the first and second wave did not pose too much of a problem. But as far as the third wave is concerned, there are certain challenges. The ventilators currently with the administration cannot be used for the children.

Therefore, the process of acquiring 25 paediatric ventilators for the district government hospitals is under progress, sources said. The government hospital here will receive 20 ventilators in the next 45 days. Health department officials said that in the first phase, the government will acquire 45 paediatric ventilators.

When compared to other districts, Udupi does not suffer from shortage of paediatricians. The district administration has requested the government to post four paediatricians to the district. There are right paediatricians including four in the Mother & Child Hospital and one each in the district hospital, Karkala, Kundapur and Kota government hospitals. In private hospitals, four paediatricians are in Karkala, eight in Kundapur, and 36 others. Steps have been taken to train the government and private doctors at KMC Hospital Manipal where special technical training will be imparted.

Over 1,500 children had suffered during Covid first and second wave in the district. The district has 2.71 lac children. Indian Medical association has prepared guidelines to protect the children from the Covid third wave. Preparations are under way to fall in line with these guidelines, the district administration said.

    First wave communist chinese In bat modified corona virus, Second wave due to elites hurriedly brought out chimpanzee cell derived adeno virus based Big Pharma vaccines ?and Third wave Rodent borne diseases through hanta virus ? Children's Coughing Rat Plague ? Divine message had forewarned about this CRP long back specially in US. No to communist chinese trade ships. Might send here infected rats along with the big shipping containers. One never knows. Better clean up all Rats (or through dogs as recently prophecied by Indian Prophet Bajinder Singh.)These ruthless communist chinese go any extent to take total control, need be careful about them, may try to infect people one way or the other to bring deadly human and economy losses on other nations by trying keep them under continuous lockdowns. Modern world less believers, less prayers so these globalist and communist chinese trying royally to enslave humanity with viruses (micro biology) and nano technology, DNA changing (CRISPR technology) in vaccines making them controllable robots with AI, 5G and advanced surveilance technology with the use of their one way propaganda BigTech media. Same time their BigPharma raking billions in vaccines.3
