Kangpokpi, June 30 2017:
As a trustee member of Rogi Kalyan Samiti (RKS), Senapati District Women Association (SDWA) and Senapati District Students' Association (SDSA) conducted a surprise inspection at the district hospital, Senapati yesterday .
The inspection was to observe the issues, problems and functioning of the 50 bedded hospital where they visited many wards/departments and interacted with patients randomly to hear their opinions about the service of the hospital .
Later, the team interacted with the Medical Superintendent (MS) Dr Yule and found that the hospital lacked man power which was petitioned during the Health Minister’s visit a couple of weeks ago .
The two local bodies alleged that out of the 14 Medical Officers posted at Hospital, only three were present to render emergency services .
The team further found out that after the visit of the Health Minister, 14 nurses and 6 more Grade IV staff were provided but none of the posted were officially settled .
The visiting teams also met the rest of the staff members including doctors and members of various departments and observed that many of the staff arriving from Imphal reached the hospital by 11 am where the staff pointed on the factor that they reach late owing to bad road condition .
The team appealed the whole staff of the hospital to be punctual and regular in rendering their service .
The Medical Superintendent said that Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Jan Aushadhi Kendra will be opened from tomorrow with an objective of making quality medicines available at affordable prices for all, particularly the poor and underprivileged through exclusive outlets "Jan Aushadhi Medical Store" .
