With at least 2,598 people having tested positive for swine flu in the city this year and over 43 deaths taking place, the lack of safety measures taken by tertiary care hospitals (which providing specialised treatment and specialists) to protect health workers is worrying. \r\nAmbulance drivers, for instance, have been ferrying H1N1 positive patients between the Kasturba, Sion, Nair and KEM Hospitals, but nothing has allegedly been done to ensure that they do not catch the infection because of sharing space with the patients. |
