ICGME?

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.
