Tengnoupal, February 16 2023:
Referring to the 17th foundation day celebration of Moreh Hospital held yesterday, Meetei Council Moreh has claimed that this year marks the 25th year of Moreh Hospital since its inception.
Addressing a press conference today at the office of MCM, N Pulindro, advisor MCM, claimed that the foundation stone laying ceremony of the 50-bedded Moreh Hospital was held in 1998 in the presence of former Health Minister Morung Makunga and Health Director Dr Kheroda.
He further claimed that the land on which the hospital is erected was earlier set aside for the establishment of a student organisation's Moreh branch.
"However, former president of the student body, N Thoiba and Dr Kheroda drafted a gift deed in 1998 through which the land was gifted to the Health Department after which the hospital was constructed", he added.
He also addressed a claim made by CMO Tengnoupal around 6/7 months ago which stated that the Health Department has lost the "gift deed" and called it unfortunate.
N Thoiba asserted that the plot of land was gifted to the Health Department for the construction of the hospital as they had recognized the need & importance of a public hospital and called the reported loss of the gift deed very unfortunate.
