| Rajouri residents want more medical facilities in hospital | | | Early Times Report
Rajouri, Apr 25 : Complaining of a shortage of doctors and medical amenities including equipment in the 200-bedded regional hospital, residents of Rajouri in Kashmir called for better medical facilities at the hospital.
People complained about lack of basic medical facilities and said that usually they have to rush elsewhere during an emergency. "I feel very sad to say that there are a lot of problems inside the hospital whether it is the number of staff or adequate machines.
Though many machines has been provided by the government, there is a lack of technical staff to handle the technical devices.
There are not even 22 staff members to take care of all the technical machinery. It is my humble request to the government, whether it is the ruling government or someone fighting the election from here to raise this matter in one of the parliament sessions,"said a patient's relative, Zahir Abbas. Residents also said that the absence of medical staff and facilities makes it very difficult during emergency as they are compelled to rush elsewhere for treatment.
Meanwhile, Chief Medical Officer (CMO), Rajouri district, Rajiv Sharma, said that the government has assured that proper measures would be taken to upgrade the machinery. "It is the biggest district with the population of 6.41 lakh (641million) and sometimes the hospital is also loaded with patients from Poonch district and all our medical staff as well as doctors work with utmost dedication.
All the issues faced by patients will be resolved after the election.I am assuring all the residents of my district that we will ensure proper functioning of all the sophisticated machines for the speedy recovery of the patients," Sharma said. |
