Mendhar, July 21: A man had to wait for many hours to get his ailing child treated at the sub district hospital Mendhar.
Zafar Iqbal, a resident of Jughal, said after his wife delivered a baby, doctors told him that the baby was sick and needed treatment in the Special Care Baby Unit.
"When I approached the hospital administration they said the Baby Care Unit was locked because the staff nurse was absent," Iqbal said.
Later, the desperate father of the toddler brought the issue into the notice of some local journalists who rushed to the hospital.
After an argument with the scribes, the Block Medical Officer Dr Parvez Ahmed opened the Baby care Unit and admitted the ailing child.
Meanwhile, the scribes have taken up the issue with Additional Deputy Commissioner Poonch, who assured them that appropriate action would be taken if anyone is found not performing his/her duty. |
