Experts Stress Swift Treatment for Paediatric Emergencies
Experts in Visakhapatnam are talking about how important it is to treat children who need emergency care very quickly.
A big study found that over six years, 43,800 children came to a hospital emergency department, and almost half of them needed to be admitted right away.
To help with this, a new hospital for children opened in Visakhapatnam.
This new hospital will be open all the time and will take care of children who need help quickly.
Important people from the hospital and the police were there when the new hospital opened.
Studies show 43,800 children arrived at a paediatric emergency department over six years, with 42% requiring immediate admission.
Rainbow Children’s Hospital expanded access to paediatric care in Visakhapatnam with a new 24/7 emergency and OPD centre.
