Elective surgeries at KCGMC likely from today

Karnal, June 16

After a gap of around two months, Kalpana Chawla Government Medical College (KCGMC) is likely to resume elective and emergency surgeries from Thursday.

All operation theatres (OTs) have been fumigated for the surgeries. After the outbreak of second wave, the KCGMC was declared a dedicated Covid hospital for four districts – Karnal, Kaithal, Yamunanagar and Kurukshetra. Only emergency surgeries were being conducted at the Civil Hospital to avoid overburdening the KCGMC, already struggling to deal with the rising pandemic load. “We are going to resume all kinds of elective and emergency surgeries from Thursday, for which we have made all arrangements,” said Dr Jagdish Dureja, director, KCGMC. — TNS
