United Medical College Hospital has launched a specialized treatment unit for children suffering from a recent measles outbreak, implementing rigorous international infection control protocols to ensure the safety of all patients at its Madani Avenue facility in Satarkul.
The hospital has rapidly reorganized its medical infrastructure to accommodate the surge, establishing dedicated isolation units, emergency triage systems, and separate zones for neonatal and pediatric intensive care. By enforcing strict movement controls, mandated personal protective equipment protocols, and consistent facility-wide sanitization, the institution aims to maintain a secure environment amidst the public health challenge.
To improve accessibility for families traveling from remote regions, the hospital is offering significant financial concessions on emergency services, ventilator support, and general treatment costs. Critically ill patients are receiving round-the-clock observation and one-on-one nursing care to ensure close monitoring and specialized intervention.
Dr. Azharul Islam Khan, Director of Medical Services at United Healthcare, emphasized that a collaborative effort between public and private sectors is essential to mitigate the impact of the outbreak. He noted that effective infection control, affordable medical care, and robust public awareness initiatives remain the most vital tools in addressing the current health crisis.
