Times of India | Hospitals in Lucknow will have to conduct regular fire safety drills in compliance with the fire and electrical safety norms.
These directives were issued by divisional commissioner Roshan Jacob during a review meeting held for health infrastructure and care.
Jacob said that hospitals must be equipped with fire safety systems, valid safety certificates, and alternative emergency exits. She mandated fire safety training for all hospital staff and ordered regular mock drills with routine electrical safety checks.
The mandatory presence of doctors, full-time night OPDs, maternity services, and effective operation of Jan Aushadhi Kendras have been emphasised. Regular inspections of these centres are to be conducted by the Food Safety and Drug Administration (FSDA).
A drive has been launched to issue identity cards to senior citizens above 70 years of age, noting that only 37,113 out of 1,42,967 eligible persons received them so far. The monthly distribution of iron syrup to pregnant women, lactating mothers, adolescent girls and children has been emphasised under the Anaemia Mukt Bharat initiative.
