The state planning ways out from the Third wave of Covid to knock the country within months.
Though the Covid19 cases turn to decline, the challenge is not yet over. The third wave is at the edge to grasp double the lives of what it was in the second wave. And to tackle from the very initial stage, the Bengal government has panel a high-level committee to sit on the first meeting on Wednesday (tomorrow). It is predicted that the Third wave will be hitting the country in the next two months.
The committee will formulate a strategy to develop infrastructure and also determine the treatment procedure so that the disease can be controlled from the beginning.
The Committee adds six doctors from SSKM including G.K. Dhali, Maitrayee Banerjee, Soumitra Ghosh, Mrinal Kanti Das, Asutosh Ghosh and Abhijit Chowdhury. Apart from that the committee includes paediatrician Dilip Pal and Bibhuti Saha and specialists in infectious disease like Yogiraj Roy and Jyotirmoy Pal.
The Bengal government, he said, also was bulk-ordering paediatric oximeters. "Adult oximeters don`t work for kids because they have smaller fingers. So, we are acquiring paediatric oximeters. These would be dispatched state-wide. We already have 80 paediatric ventilators, and we are trying to attempt to find out whether adult ventilators can be recalibrated for use in kids who are above two years old. This is being studied at Medical College Hospital," Chakraborty said.
