Trauma Centre: JKPCC hands over building, Health deptt doesn't open it 2/6/2016 11:29:30 PM Bijay Charak Early Times Report Jammu, Feb 6: The purpose to establish Trauma Centre Khelani of district Doda has been defeated, as in spite of two months lapse since the building was handed over to health department by Jammu and Kashmir Projects Construction Corporation (JKPCC) but the department has failed to open it. Pleading anonymity, a medico said that the higher authority of health department seems to be least concerned about the functioning of a much-needed Trauma Centre here even as the construction work of this building was completed previous year but till date the department has failed to sanction sufficient staff in here, at present only two doctors and two nurses cater the hospital. "The already delay in its construction is notwithstanding recurring transfer of trauma patients, to district hospital Doda or Sub district hospital Botate, many of whom die in transit", they said, adding that the establishment of Khellani trauma centre would be of crucial help to trauma patients of Chenab valley. "This time we see all the patients being referred to district hospital and sub district hospitals. If we have a level two or level thre e trauma centre in Khellani, it would minimize trauma casualties," sources said. They, however, said the government must put in place requisite infrastructure and only trauma specialists in the centre once it comes up. "This time the trauma centre in Thatri have general staff with minimal trauma infrastructure. We need trauma specialists to handle trauma cases if the department really means the business," medico said, adding that otherwise having such centre won't serve any purpose. However, repeated calls by this Jurno to Chief Medical Officer Doda, Dr. Kulbushan, he didn't respond the phone calls.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
