Videos by Cipaca Basti in Basti. India's No 1 Rural ICU center now at Basti!
CIPACA’s positive impact on Basti’s (Uttar Pradesh) rural healthcare system!
About 1.4 lakh people of Basti in the largest state of Uttar Pradesh started to receive their first tertiary ICU, thanks to CIPACA – Ananta Hospital partnership.
“It has been difficult to manage critical patients without any super specialist in Basti, Uttar Pradesh. We were referring the patients to either Lucknow or Gorakhpur which are 200 km and 60 km away respectively from our place. One can only imagine the situation in case any emergency strikes,” says Dr Ajay Kumar Chaudhary of Ananta Hospital, Uttar Pradesh.
India is endowed with 43,000 hospitals. But unfortunately, they lack the ability to run standardised ICU operations in them. Only 2.3 ICU beds are available per 1000 population in India and the majority of these ICU beds are in metro cities only. The outbreak of the pandemic has also increased the need for ICU beds in every town/city.
As hospitals are in dire need of ICU operations, Dr Ajay Kumar Chaudhary, Founder and Managing Director of Ananta Hospital, came forward to partner with CIPACA to manage tertiary ICUs in his 50 bedded multi-speciality hospital in the Basti district of Uttar Pradesh.
Now, critical patients in the region don’t have to travel long distances for emergency care as the CIPACA-Ananta partnership offers quality ICU at their doorsteps.
Here’s a video of him talking about the ground reality and his visions to address the gap in emergency care through a partnership with CIPACA.
