  • Tackling trauma

    According to Dr Bushan Joseph, neurosurgeon Hosmat Hospital “Very often, victims of road accidents die en route to a hospital because they are sent off from one place to the other due to lack of facilities or the sheer ignorance of how to handle the situation. This merry-go-round causes their lives.The City is in utter chaos and many accident victims end up losing their lives en route.More awareness needs to be brought in with focus on the need for trauma care.”
