Nashik civil hospital caters to the needs of patients coming not only from the city but also from rural areas of the district. "The 500-bed hospital is currently treating on an average 650 patients daily. Short of staff, short of space, the hospital is still carrying ahead its services. The heath director who visited civil hospital has assured all necessary help from the government," civil surgeon Suresh Jagdale said.The officials also observed that civil hospital handled about 600 delivery cases per month and about 350 caesarean cases in the same period, besides taking care of the newborns.During his tour of Nashik district , Kamble visited various departments especially the isolation ward for the swine-flu affected patients. He observed that of the 240 patients taken in during the year for the treatment of swine flu, 210 walked out hale and hearty."Addressing the doctors and the patients, the director underlined the need to start the treatment for fighting swine flu in the early stage so as to avoid complications. The responsibility of treatment lies with both, the patients and the medical fraternity. Neither should the patient take fever and cough lightly nor should the doctors waste time in treating the patient," Jagdale said.The director also asked the civil and rural hospitals to raise awareness about swine flu and its symptoms that were not very different from a general flu.
