CCpur, November 12 2020:
With the doctors working in Churachandpur District Hospital digging into their own pockets to set-up a dedicated Covid Operation Theatre, the Medical Directorate has now acknowledged their efforts and chipped in by delivering innumerable instruments, a couple of days after The Sangai Express broke the news.
Sources in the hospital said, the State Medical Directorate today issued 2 OT Tables, 2 Anaesthesia Machine, 4 suction machines, and 10 monitors for the makeshift OT that is meant to serve as a dedicated facility for Covid patients.
It may be recalled here that Churachandpur District Hospital is managed by the State.
With the hospital having just one Operation Theatre, it became a nightmare for the medical practitioners as well as for ailing patients whenever someone who had tested positive needed to go under the knife.
As local cases of Covid continue to grow, the hospital's medical fraternity is of the opinion that closing the only OT for days whenever someone with the virus is operated upon is not practical and despite a fund crunch they mounted a drive to take the onus of constructing a makeshift OT so that they could attend patients, both positive and negative of the contagion without any delay.
