SRINAGAR, Feb 14: In absence of a full time Principal, patients and students at the city's SKIMS Medical College hospital (formerly JVC) is subjecting patients and students to inconvenience.
According to sources, the Director SKIMS, who holds the additional charge of Principal of the college of this hospital, does not remain available at JVC.
"Patients in this hospital have various issues but no competent authority is here to listen and redress the grievances of patients. We're being told to talk to the Director SKIMS who is also holding the additional charge of Principal JVC Hospital", said a patient, Maqbool Qadri.
Doctors and paramedical staff hold a similar view. "We've to go to SKIMS Soura for getting signatures on various official documents. It makes the patients suffer as most of the medical and paramedical staff waste their lot of time in this process", said an employee.
Director SKIMS Showkat Zargar said that authorities have sanctioned creation of the post of Principal for the hospital. "There was no such provision before as such. Anyone having any complaint or grievance should contact me and I assure it will be immediately sorted out", he added. |
