The Anamoy wing, which works as the super speciality unit for cardiac patients, immediately referred her to the chest department of the BMCH. Dr Shakuntala Sarkar, superintendent of the unit, said, “She’s not admitted here as we don’t have a pulmonary unit here, and considering the emergency, she’s immediately referred.
