EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Nov 11:
One of the top medical institutes of J&K that is Government Medical College & Hospital (GMC&H) Jammu these days is facing not only the shortage of Computed Tomography Scan (CT Scan) machines but also in dire need of requisite manpower to operate it.
As GMC&H is the main hospital of Jammu region, the patients from various parts of the province as well as neighboring states are also referred here.
With large number of accident cases are also referred at GMC, the head injuries in several incidents require a CT Scan test at that time.
According to sources, most of the times the emergency CT Scan room remain locked and it start functioning after 4 pm mainly due to shortage of manpower.
There is another CT Scan machine available on the first floor in the OPD and the emergency ward is on ground floor so it creates problems for the attendants as well as the patients to go for that test. As the emergency CT scan is locked the patients of OPD and the emergency patients have to wait a lot for their tests.
Shiv Dutt Sharma, an attendant said that it is very difficult to take a patient to CT Scan OPD as this OPD is present on the first floor. If the emergency CT Scan room remain open round the clock for the emergency patients, it would be very beneficial for the patients as well as for the attendants.
Head of Department (HOD) Radiology Dr Ghan Shyam said for the test of CT Scan, there is provision of 20 patients for test at a time.
He further said that they were unable to open the emergency CT Scan room before 4 PM because of lack of staff.
