Nashik: Swine flu has claimed three more
lives in Nashik, taking the city`s toll in the dreaded
pandemic to 31.
Three patients - Ganga Nivrutti Adaksul (35), Akash
Ashrusha Kapse (33) and Heena Shaikh (14) of Nashik died of
swine flu, Nashik Civil Hospital`s civil surgeon Assaram
Bhalsingh said.
Before shifting to Nashik Civil Hospital, the trio
were being treated in a private hospital for cold, fever and
cough, he said.
A suspected swine flu patient Magduma Shaikh, also a
resident of Nashik, died last night in the civil hospital,
following which her relatives damaged the hospital`s
furniture, Bhalsingh said.
"She was earlier treated in a private hospital and
admitted to civil on Monday night in a serious condition," Dr
Bhalsingh said, adding her reports from Pune`s NIV are yet
to received.
The health department has succeeded in controlling
swine flu in rural areas of the district, he said.
