Neo Cradle, a scheme for newborns, launched on pilot mode in Kozhikode district
The State government is expecting that an All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) could be set up at the land owned by the Department of Industries at Balussery in Kozhikode district, Health Minister Veena George has said.
Opening the pilot launch of Neo Cradle, a scheme for newborns, in Kozhikode district through online mode on Wednesday, she said the Centre was likely to take a favourable stand. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has held discussions with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the issue.
The Minister said Neo Cradle was aimed at linking primary, secondary and tertiary-level healthcare institutions to ensure treatment for bodily changes in newborns. Efforts will be taken to detect changes such as drop in body temperature and glucose and oxygen levels on time. They could turn out to be severe health issues. Such babies will be referred to hospitals with modern facilities in well-equipped ambulances. Connectivity between hospitals and transportation of patients will be the highlights of the scheme.
