Neonatal Ambulance for MGM Goverment Hospital Trichy

Emergency healthcare in Trichy got a boost with ambulances allotted for newborns and the remote Pachaimalai on Monday. While neonatal ambulance is meant for providing emergency medical care to infants across the district, the 108 ambulance for Pachaimalai, near Thuraiyur, will be a boon for tribals residing on the hill villages.
Trichy district collector Jayashree Muralidharan flagged off the ambulances in the presence of Dr R Vallinayagam, dean of MGMGH, at the collectorate on Monday.
After flagging off the ambulances, the collector said the neonatal ambulance will play a vital role in ensuring emergency medical care to infants while they are brought to hospitals. The ambulance will go a long way in reducing infant mortality, the collector said. Dr.M.A.Aleem, Vice Principal KAPV Vishvanatham Goverment Medical college,
Dr R Manohar, joint director health services, Dr G Muthukumar, district programme manager, Tamil Nadu Health Systems Project (TNHSP) attended the function.
The neonatal ambulance is equipped with multi-channel monitor, incubator, suction apparatus, oxygen cylinder, syringe pump and ventilator. The monitor will measure pulse saturation, ECG and non-invasive blood pressure of infants requiring emergency care. The ambulance, which will be stationed at MGMGH, could be called for transporting unwell infants anywhere from the district. Infants can be given emergency medical care while on the move to government hospitals in towns. Hitherto, people in rural areas were at the receiving end as they had to travel long distances for obtaining medical services for newborns facing complications.
