Replying to a query by MLA bandipora, Nizam-Ud-Din Bhat, Health Minister Sakina Itoo said major interventions are underway at the District Hospital Bandipora to strengthen critical care services.

The minister said the 100-bedded district hospital Bandipora is already equipped with facilities including a CT scan, dialysis unit, Special Newborn Care Unit (SNCU), oxygen plants and ventilators.

Under the Emergency COVID Response Package-II (ECRP-II), a 12-bed paediatric hybrid ICU, a 30-bed oxygen-supported paediatric ward and a 10-bed maternal ICU have been established at the hospital, she said.

The government said that under PM-ABHIM, a 50-bed Critical Care Block has been approved for Bandipora, with the technical bid evaluated and the financial bid opened. Work has also commenced on a District Integrated Public Health Laboratory and 12 Block Public Health Units, she added.
