Flu clinic service moved to IGMH starting tonight

Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH) has decided to close their flu clinic opened at Thaajuddeen School following the H1N1 influenza outbreak and resume the service at the hospital starting tonight.

The flu clinic was initially moved to Thaajuddeen School due the the overload of service at the hospital due to the number of people coming to the hospital to consult regarding the flu.

Director of the Media Department at IGMH, Ahmed Mausoom told Sun Media that the flu clinic is being relocated because the number of people consulting regarding the flu has gone down and the schools are reopening this Sunday.

He said that the flu clinic will be providing 24-hour service even after it has been relocated and the service is available even now during the transition.

IGMH said that they would be doing a chemical clean at Thaajuddeen flu clinic before letting the place go.

This year so far 460 people have been tested for H1N1 out of which 176 people were found positive to the influenza. There are currently 23 people hospitalized in treatment for H1N1.

Statistics show that the spread of the disease slowing down in the past five days.
