Ukhrul, June 23 2021:
Tangkhul Mayar Ngala Long (TMNL - Tangkhul Youth Council) urged chief minister N Biren Singh to provide requisite manpower and several basic healthcare facilities to the district's lone government-run Ukhrul District Hospital (UDH) to streamline its services in times of Covid-19 outbreak.
In a missive to CM Biren on Wednesday, the youth council requested him to provide the requisite manpower like X-Ray technician and staff nurses, along with basic healthcare facilities including Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) Analyzer, D-Dimmer, C-Reactive Protein Analyzer and Blood Bank to the hospital on a priority basis.
Acknowledging efforts of the state government to contain the pandemic, TMNL said that the hospital is in dire need of the said manpower and facilities to optimise its healthcare services to the general public.
