Docs Trained to Treat High-Altitude Emergencies


Srinagar: To minimise casualties during the Amarnath pilgrimage to the shrine at an altitude of 3,380 metres in the south Kashmir Himalayas, the health department has trained more than 400 doctors and other health professionals in high-altitude medical emergency.

Over the years, hundreds of pilgrims have died en route to the holy shrine, housing the naturally formed ice Shivalingam, due to breathlessness, heart attacks and accidents.
