Imphal, March 24 2017:
Manipur's pride JNIMS, is shattering the hopes of many people as patients are harassed by consultants by sending them to private clinic for taking X-ray, as the Degital X-Ray Machine installed at the hospital has been out of order for almost one and half months.
Source said none of the JNIMS authority had taken up any initiative to repair the machine.
The MRI Machine which is also installed at the hospital too has been out of order for around 4 days.
The JNIMS authority has not initiated any procedure for repairing of the machine either.
The Digital X-Ray Machine was installed in the year 2015 and was procured by a brother of former Chief Minister Okram Ibobi SSingh identified as Okram Heramot.
Source further added that the X-Ray Machine cost over crore s of rupees and what is surprising is that he didn't provide any agreement for maintenance of the machine with the company.
The one and the only Medical institution run by the Manipur state government, established under the great enthusiasm of former Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh in the name of providing quality medical facilities to the people of the state has finally showed the true colour behind the motives of establishing such institutions as medical equipment procured for this hospital have not reached upto the mark.
The most unfortunate part is that, the institute seems to be running without a responsible head, as essential equipments for diagnosing patients are never maintained and check giving much inconvenience to patients who comes to the hospital for treatment.
While Imphal Times have several such evidences to show whether the hospital is dedicated for the people or is it a gold mine for suppliers and contractors, we coined only one instance as a wakeup call to the concern authority, particularly to the new ministry led by Nongthombam Biren.
Imphal Times will reveal story of how some people are digging gold from JNIMS in the name of construction and supplying of medical equipments when there is time.
