EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Nov 18: The state government has decided to raise medicalinfrastructure by making new government hospitals and medical institutes, but they did nothing to improve the existing facilities in the state. Existing hospitals and colleges are lacking in infrastructural facilities.
As per reports, Minister for Medical Education R S Chib along with Minister for Revenue, Relief and Rehabilitation, Raman Bhalla convened a meeting of officers of GMC, Jammu Development Authority (JDA) and revenue department to review the facilities for the completion of the new maternity hospital to decrease the rush in SMGS hospital.
Remarkably, Raman Bhalla has asked JDA to identify land of about 200 kanals in Jammu region to propose an ayurvedic college, a nursing college and a maternity hospital at the same place.
It is pertinent to mention here that the government planned to build new government hospitals and colleges in Jammu region but most of the hospitals of Jammu are in dilapidated conditions. There is lack of requisite infrastructure, lack of manpower, funds and other facilities.
These facilities should be given prominence before making new facilities. There are dozens of hospitals and Primary Health Centres in Jammu region that don’t have the sufficient manpower to man the hospitals. Despite the demand of people these deficiencies are not fulfilled so far.
CMO Baldev Sharma, however, denied the deficiency of doctors in the district and said that there are only 3 PHCs in the district which did not have the required number of the doctors. He also said that the minister has proposed to build a new hospital to reduce the rush in SMGS maternity wards.
