| Why no-1 best award to health dept? | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
KATRA, Jan 14 : Broken windowpanes, unhygienic sheets in emergency wards, stinky toilets is all what one can witness at SMGS Hospital. Despite government spending crores of rupees every year on health sector, the SMGS Hospital gives a gloomy picture to the government claims.
Numbers of attendants who come to the SMGS Hospital, Jammu either for their wards treatment or for delivery cases seems to be unsatisfied by the health department in providing basic amenities in the hospital. Pertinent to mentioning here, SMGS hospital was constructed by the erstwhile Maharaja Hari Singh in remembrance of Maharaja Gulab Singh in 1940, despite passing decades this only hospital for children is still yearning for those fundamental facilites.
The attendants and patients here revealed that blood-stained plastic sheets in emergency wards, broken window panes from where chilly air moves make new-born babies life pitiable. It is worth mentioning here that only the common man with tight financial condition come here otherwise the elite class prefers private clinics or hospital.
One more thing which the attendants have to face is wrath of Class-IV employees and even few nurses working in the labour department who are engaged in practise of earning money in exchange of handing over new-born babies to their parents otherwise abusive language and ill treatment is expected from them. Despite large number of loopholes in the hospital for which services health department of state is conferred with best no-1 awards, concerned authorities who are responsible for conferring such awards must reach to the common man and ask them about the government performance in different sectors, because they are best judge to reckon it.
Meanwhile, when contacted Dr Yash Pal Sharma, he told to contact the Medical Super indent Dr Romesh Gupta regarding the lacunas prevailing in hospital. When contacted Dr Gupta passed the buck on Deputy Medical Super indent Dr Dara Singh, who too passed it on principal, medical college or medical super indent for this matter but later told that only the Srinagar- based children hospital is provided with the heating facility .
