Srinagar, Feb 29 :<\/strong> Over 40% of referrals from rural hospitals to Kashmir\u2019s premier maternity specialty Lalla Ded Hospital turn out ingenuine. These unauthentic referrals overburden Srinagar\u2019s LD Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Medical Superintendent LD Hospital Dr Muzaffar Jan told the news agency Kashmir News Trust that the Secretary Health and Medical Education recently sought data about ingenuine referrals and the same was provided to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   \u201cSecretary Health and Medical Education even sought the names of those doctors who unnecessarily referred the patients with labor pain to LD Hospital. Hopefully, action will be initiated against those doctors and that will be a deterrent for other doctors in the future,\u201d Dr Jan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In response to a question, the Medical Superintendent LD Hospital said that they treat even those patients who are being referred on flimsy grounds as they can\u2019t send back patients who arrive in the hospital from Uri, Kupwara, and Anantnag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    He said for the past couple of years, LD Hospital has witnessed thousands of referrals and most of them were unauthentic referrals. \u201cThis surge in referrals mostly ingenuine has placed an immense burden on the healthcare facilities in our hospital,\u201d Dr Muzaffar Jan said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 Maternity care in Kashmir Valley heavily relies on Lalla Ded Hospital, and the increasing number of referrals is straining its resources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
