| No post of child specialist at Ramnagar Hospital: Director Health Jammu | | | Ashwani Sharma
Early Times Report
Udhampur feb 8: There is no post of a child specialist at Ramnagar Hospital. This was claimed by the Director Health Jammu, Dr Renu Sharma when this reporter asked her about no appointment in the hospital even after the death of 10 children there.
It is pertinent to mention here that few days back Early Times carried a story on non-availability of a child specialist at OPD of Ramnagar Hospital as there was death of ten kids in the medical institution.
However, as per sources the children like other patients are being examined and treated by the General Physician in the Hospital. The fact is that innocent people coming to the Hospital have no knowledge that a pediatrician and general physician are different doctors and the management takes advantage of this.
Sources informed that emergency basis a child specialist from DH Udhampur was asked to join Ramnagar Hospital after 10 children died there but the medico is yet to join the post.
“Why the government is not taking it seriously? Why are they not moved by the deaths of 10 kids?” asked locals when contacted.
There is lot of resentment among the locals in this regard while many organisations have appealed to the concerned authorities to take strict action against those behind the deaths of innocent children.
Meanwhile NPP Chairman Harsh Dev Singh said that the health department is itself sick. “Ten kids have died and they are not moved,” he maintained adding that who else than the sick Health Department will provide post for a child specialist in the hospital.
Locals also appealed to the Lieutenant Governor, G.C Murmu to intervene and get a child specialist appointed for OPD in the Ramnagar Hospital as it is direly needed there. Many civil society members said that post of a child specialist should be created in the hospital it there is no such post already. |
