Thoubal, November 28 2020:
A team of the Ningol Club inspected Heirok Community Health Centre (CHC) in Thoubal district, today and found many shortfalls.
During the inspection it came to light that the Heirok CHC has only 2 doctors on daily shifts and the 24 hour service of the CHC has been reduced to only during the day.
Ningol Club stated that the condition of the CHC needs immediate attention.
Heirok being a densely populated area, emergency cases at night tend to happen.
The CHC doesn't have the required number of doctors and the transfer of doctors has left the CHC in dire straits.
The CHC lacks specialised doctors and medical equipment, it added.
Ningol Club further appealed to the State Government to fill up the required number of doctors of the Heirok Community Health Centre (CHC) within five days.
