Summary:
The civic-run major hospital, KEM, will soon be proposing to increase the number of beds in neonatal wards. In KEM Hospital, the percentage of premature babies death is around 15 to 20 per cent. According to the authority in King Edward Memorial Hospital (KEM), Parel, the number of neonatal ventilators will also be increased as there is a lot of demand for the ventilator support system for neonatal babies. While KEM hospital sees a footfall of patients from across the country, the waiting list for preterm babies intensive care is also more. While there are a handful of ventilators in the hospital, the authority is planning to increase the number of a ventilator in the neonatal ward..
