Thoubal, July 25 2017:
In view of the inadequate number of doctors in CHC, Yairipok, Hospital Management Society along with representatives of BYFY, BYCY and SEDO conducted a meeting today where CMO, Thoubal and staff of CHC, Yairipok also attended, conveyed a press release issued by Bamon Leikai Youth Club, Yairipok .
It can be recalled that the emergency service of CHC Yairipok had remained closed for two days due to the availability of only two doctors to attend to hundreds of patients .
The meeting deliberated that the community health centre covers areas of Wangkhem AC, Andro AC, Heirok AC, Phungyar AC and Saikul AC and availability of two doctors to take care of people coming from all the constituencies is unreasonable and unfair .
The representatives urged the Health Minister to clarify its statement during Legislative Assembly which he claimed that the CHC Yairipok has ten doctors .
The meeting also resolved to shut down all Government offices in Yairipok and to lock even the OPD if the required doctors are not sent within two days.
