Chandigarh PGI Sends Medical Team to Kashmir

Chandigarh : In a significant development, a team of doctors and nursing staff from Chandigarh’s prestigious Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGI) has been dispatched to Jammu and Kashmir to provide emergency medical services. This move comes in light of the ongoing situation in the region, where the need for timely medical aid has become crucial. The team will be stationed in the region to offer their expertise and help in managing any medical emergencies that arise, particularly in areas facing heightened security or health-related challenges.

The PGI team’s departure is part of a larger effort to ensure that affected individuals in Jammu and Kashmir receive the necessary medical care, particularly in cases of trauma, injuries, and other critical conditions. The healthcare professionals will work alongside local medical teams to manage the influx of patients, especially those injured during the ongoing conflict in the region. The decision to send a dedicated medical team follows an urgent call for help, especially from areas like Poonch, where a woman had to be referred for further treatment.

In addition to the team of medical professionals, PGI Chandigarh has also organized the transport of critical patients from affected areas to better-equipped medical facilities. A notable case involved an injured woman from Poonch, who was referred to PGI Chandigarh for specialized care after the team evaluated her condition. The quick response in facilitating her transfer underscores the commitment of PGI and its staff in providing urgent care, despite the challenges posed by the situation in the region.

The medical team’s mission aims not only to stabilize patients but also to assist the local healthcare infrastructure, which may be under strain due to the increased demand for medical services. With the addition of PGI’s expert team, there is a higher chance of providing quality care, addressing critical injuries, and ensuring that the healthcare needs of those affected by the situation are met effectively.

As the team from PGI heads to Jammu and Kashmir, it is clear that the region’s medical community is mobilizing rapidly to address the escalating crisis and offer assistance in the face of adversity.
