Only have time for a quick post. For people concerned, we’ve all gotten over our “tropical tummies,” but we’re feeling the ill effects of being in a city of 10 million people with no motor vehicle emissions standards.
We’re at Niloufer Hospital, a large government women’s and childrens’ hospital. They have 350 peds beds. However, they have 2 or 3 times that many patients.
Overnight they got 140 admissions.
I detect some duty hour violations. I don’t think I’ll be complaining about Blue Team anytime soon.
All the care here is given free of charge, but I suspect that 2 or 3 children per bed is not acceptable to some wealthier Indian parents. It must make infection control a nightmare.
