Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research performs life-saving procedures amidst the pandemic

These complex procedures were carried out by teams of doctors from several departments, namely cardiothoracic and vascular surgery, cardiology, obstetrics and gynaecology, cardiac anaesthesiology and expert nurses and technologists to ensure the best results.

Right through the disruption of normal services since the coronavirus pandemic broke out last year, Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (Jipmer) has continued to perform emergency, life-saving procedures even as it reallocated resources to combat COVID-19, a press note from the institution said. A press note from Jipmer said though doctors, nurses and other staff at all health facilities were working round-the-clock to combat the challenge of COVID-19, and had to reduce their usual work, medical institutions like Jipmer have tried to maintain emergency and specialised services, particularly those that are life saving.
