Government Medical College and Hospital
NAGPUR: A 28-year-old woman suffering from swine flu died of acute respiratory distress at Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) on Friday midnight taking the H1N1 toll at the hospital to 21. Another five H1N1 deaths have been earlier reported from private hospitals.
The victim Manisha Ramteke, a resident of Hiwri layout Wathoda, was admitted to the swine flu ward on January 21 and was put on ventilator on January 23 after she tested positive.
GMCH dean Dr A Niswade, on Saturday, told TOI that 21 H1N1 patients admitted at the hospital had died. However, he did not mention anything about Ramteke's death. This apparently meant that either he was not aware of her death or did not want to divulge the information to the media.
The total of 135 patients at GMCH have tested positive while as many as 5922 patients have got themselves screened till date. Another three suspected patients were admitted to the isolation ward on Saturday night.
Meanwhile, Social Medicine Department at GMCH is continuing with its community outreach programme. A team of doctors led by the head Prof Arun Humne will be in Gondia on Sunday and would be interacting with people during a programme organized by Gondia IMA branch. A panel discussion will also be held by a team led by Dr Sandeep Gunjal at 4 pm.
