AIIMS to Upload Details of Unidentified Patients on Its Website

[New Delhi]AIIMS to Upload Details of Unidentified Patients on Website
The AIIMS will upload on its website details of unidentified patients brought to its emergency ward to help their relatives trace them.
The prestigious institute has developed a programme by which it will soon start uploading the details of all such patients, involved in medico-legal cases, who are brought to the emergency and admitted under the ‘list of unknown patients’, on a real-time basis on its website.
As per AIIMS Director Dr M C Mishra.”Majority of such patients are accident victims. Then there are destitutes who are also brought for treatment. Again some are brought dead. The process of publishing their photos in newspapers and then somebody coming to claim them takes a long time. Uploading the details of such patients along with their photographs can help their kin trace them fast,”
