Kangpokpi, June 20 2021:
Tadubi Assembly Constituency MLA, N Kayisii directed a team on his behalf to visit the alleged ill-equipped Primary Health Centre of Tujang Waichong, the only PHC in Twilang area along Imphal-Tamenglong road considering the vital role of health centres in remote hill areas.
The team led by his PRO and party workers visited the Primary Health Centre on June 19 as the MLA had to attend an unavoidable engagement.
The visiting team was reportedly shocked to witness the dilapidated condition of the health centre despite being the only PHC in the area catering health care service to more than 60 villages.
During a short meeting with the village chief of Tujang Waichong, Lhunkholen Kipgen; youth leaders; Central Task Force leaders and medical staffs; Enock Kipgen, president KSO Twilang Block highlighted the lack of adequate staff and infrastructure in the centre and the need to repair the crumbling building of the health centre.
He also highlighted the immediate need of an ambulance and a generator in the health centre.
The village chief, Lhunkholen Kipgen said that PHC T Waichong needs undivided attention from the concerned department as the centre won't be able to function properly in emergency cases owing to its poor condition, nonavailability of adequate staff, and infrastructure.
The Central Task Force of Tujang Waichong and KSO Twilang block have been tirelessly helping and assisting the health workers to contain the pandemic in the area.
Meanwhile, the visiting team also distributed various protective gears and medical equipment for the health centre including two oxygen concentrators, pulse oximeter, PPE Kits and surgical face masks.
