Pulwama: The District Administration Pulwama has established and activated Covid Care Centers (CCCs) at 190 panchayats with an aim to strengthen the health infrastructure in rural areas amid the 2nd wave of Covid-19 pandemic in the district.
According to the officials, CCCs are fully equipped with requisite facilities which include 5 beds, medicine, face masks and other facilities.
These beds will be oxygen supported beds for immediate patient care at village level as there are several households who have no option for isolation of covid positive patients in their own residence and these centres will be beneficial for such patients and will help in reducing pressure on mainstream healthcare institutions at block, Sub-District or District level.
These CCC’s have been established at all Panchayats in Schools, Community halls or Panchayat ghars in consultation with nearest Health Centre and Panchayat representatives.
