Jammu, May 7: Startling revelations about how discrimination in healthcare too is meted out to Jammu region have come to the fore, puncturing claims of the authorities about no step-motherly treatment with any region of the state.
As per official documents in possession of the Early Times, health institutes under the administrative control of Government Medical College of Srinagar are 37 in number. On the contrary, there are mere five major health institutes functional in Jammu. They include GMC, Jammu, SMGS Hospital, CD Hospital Jammu, Super Speciality Hospital and Puy Disease Hospital Jammu.
As far as GMC Srinagar is concerned, there are more than 37 health institutes under its administrative control. Such figures have once again unravelled the mystery about how dreadful and serious has the discrimination become with the Jammu region of the state.
Early Times has earlier reported how discrimination is done even in staff strengths in these medical institutes. Take this for example: sanctioned strength of the staff at GMC Jammu is 5222 while the posts lying vacant are 1847. The faculty posts sanctioned are 391 and out of that number mere 228 have been filled and 163 are lying vacant. The staff strength sanctioned under the category of 'Other Gazetted' is 459. This number was approved by the government to get filled. However, till date, there are 19 posts which haven't been filled.
The approved paramedical staff strength sanctioned is 933. Out of 933, there are 423 such posts that haven't been filled.
In Ministerial staff category, the sanctioned strength is 284. There are 136 posts of such nature lying vacant with no action being taken to fill these posts that otherwise would have ensured betterment in the services being provided to common people by the government.
Furthermore, there are 535 posts of nursing staff that haven't been filled. These posts are vacant in GMC. The sanctioned strength of the nursing staff at the health institute is 1475. However, there were mere 940 posts filled while leaving 535 posts of such nature vacant. The reason behind such an action continues to remain a mystery.
In Class-IV category, there are 1268 posts sanctioned. However, here aswell, there were mere 815 filed and 453 left vacant by the government.
Under 'Safai Wala' category, there are 412 sanctioned posts but here again, mere 294 have been filled and 118 are lying vacant.
Such a blatant non-serious approach of the state authorities towards the Jammu region of the state has proved just one thing; there is no stone being left unturned to make the region crave for the official attention in all fields.
A senior official within the dispensation divulged that there has been a little effort done by the elected representatives of Jammu to ensure any betterment in the health sector of the region and due to such non - serious approach, Jammu is lagging behind other regions in health scenario too. |
