Pune: Have a query on swine flu? We'll answer it. Doctors at Pune's Naidu Hospital for Infectious Diseases are manning a 24-hour-helpline to answer the calls of a city in the grip of a swine flu outbreak.
Twenty students from six city schools are currently being treated for the infection. And the response to it?
"The response is very good. On the first day itself we received some 160 calls. Now we are adding two to three more lines so that more people can get access," said R R Pardesi, Health Officer, Pune Municipal Corporation.
"It's a good move as people need not have to go to the hospital and take advice from the doctors," said Anjali Karve, Principal, Bal Shikshan Mandir.
Four more students have tested positive for swine flu in 3 schools in Pune; 2 from Bal Shikshan Mandir English School, 1 from New India School, 1 from Annasaheb Patil Prashala (new school to be added) -this takes the total number of schools affected now to 7.
