DAK Sounds Swine Flu alert SSRINAGAR, January 03: President Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) and HINI expert Dr Nisar ul Hassan Saturday in a statement sounded Swine flu alert in Kashmir valley in view of the recent spurt of swine flue (H1N1) cases. Since December, there are 30 lab confirmed HINI cases including 6 deaths in Hyderabad and 16 new cases in Delhi with one death, which is alarming. As HINI virus is already in our community after 2009 pandemic when we had 53 positive cases and 3 deaths, so there is a definite threat of swine flu outbreak in valley as well. Valley hospitals are not prepared to combat Swine flu and the two designated hospitals, SKIMS and SMHS do not have the facility of negative pressure isolation wards for HINI patients.
