As everyone is well aware, it is very important to treat heart attack patients within the golden hour. We have witnessed a trend recently that more young people are suffering from heart attacks. According to a study, 35 percent of heart attack victims are in their 40s, said Health Minister Dinesh Gundirao.
Considering the current situation, I feel that it is my first duty as the Health Minister to look into the issue and take the right steps to save our people. Our Health Department has taken a significant step forward in this regard with an objective to save as many lives as possible in case of heart attack and also to ensure treatment is provided on time and within the golden hour.
In the name of Puneeth Rajkumar, we are implementing Karnataka Ratna Dr. Puneeth Rajkumar Hrudaya Jyothi Yojane. The program will be implemented in two ways, Hub and Spoke and installation of AED devices in public places, will work effectively in preventing sudden heart attacks.
We have made a total of 85 hospitals at the district and taluk level as Spoke Centers. 10 Hubs will be created in 16 Super specialty hospitals, including Jayadeva Hospital, the Minister said. .
