Aiming at strengthening the healthcare infrastructure in rural areas and also reducing the pressure on the tertiary care system, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar launched a pilot project - “Sanjeevani Pariyojana” on the theme of “Swasth Karnal, banega missal”, under which end-to-end healthcare will be ‘ensured’ to home-isolated patients who are around 94 per cent of the total patients in the district.
It is a Karnal model of supervised home care to combat the second wave of the Covid-19 and it will be implemented in other districts of the state subsequently.
The district administration with the help of a multinational company, Deloitte, had chalked out this project, under which six facilities have been extended, particularly in rural areas.
200 students of Kalpana Chawla Government Medical College (KCGMC) are providing tele-consultation to the home-quarantined patients.
Besides, 6,500 kits with essential medicines, pulse oxymeters, thermometers, steamer and triple-layer masks are being distributed to home- isolated patients.
In Karnal, nine field hospitals having the capacity of 216 oxygen beds have been established in the district.
The facility of lab tests is being provided to those isolated at home, free of cost.
Eight advanced life support ambulances have been hired and deployed at all CHCs for 24 hours. Two drivers and lab technicians each are deployed on every ambulance in shifts to expedite transport and admission of Covid patients to the field hospitals and district hospital.
The integrated command and control centre had been established in Sector 12 to check the live status of availability of beds, usage of oxygen in the district, status of tele-consultation, live medical vitals of home-isolated patients.
