Bureau: Dhaka July-12,
The Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH) authorities have decided to limit the admission of patients other than the most urgent and to suspend the routine surgery without emergency surgery for the time being.
The
decision was taken in an office order signed by Chittagong Medical College
Hospital Director Brigadier General SM Humayun Kabir.
The
office order said routine surgeries would be suspended for the time being,
except for emergency surgeries. Only emergency patients will be admitted. Among
the already admitted patients, those who are not urgent will be given clearance
for receiving treatment at home with the necessary arrangements for the time
being. All health officials, nurses, and other health workers must wear masks while
performing their duties.
Deputy
Dr. of Chittagong Medical College Hospital- Aftabul Islam said the number
of patients in the hospital is increasing every day due to the increase in
coronary infections. Despite the increase in the number of patients, the
existing doctors, nurses, and health workers of the hospital have to provide
services to these patients. As the number of corona patients is increasing, it
has been decided to limit the admission of non-emergency patients. In addition
to emergency surgery, routine surgery will also be suspended for the time
being.
