PCMC to set up separate ward at YCM for swine flu patients

Despite a surge in the number of swine flu patients in the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation area and as many as 20 deaths reported since January, no specific steps have been taken towards it. As a majority of the patients suffering from swine flu come to the PCMC-run Yeshwantrao Chavan Municipal (YCM) Hospital, Pimpri, the civic body’s standing committee has ordered the health department to set up a separate ward for swine flu patients at the hospital.
