Imphal, August 11 2015 :
Kumbi Primary Health Centre, which is the only medical facility for Kumbi and nearby villagers, was found in horrific condition when volunteers of Young Talent Kumbi, All India Students Federation, Kumbi Zonal Council and AMYPO Kumbi Sector inspected it recently.
The Health Centre in Bishnupur district should have more than five doctors but in reality it is running by only three doctors, revealed a joint statement released by the three organisations.
Manipur Govt had assured to provide 24x7 facility at the Health Centre but now the three doctors have been forced to do the night shifts also.
Saying that the villagers have been reeling under hardships due to the unavailability of doctors, the release appealed to the authorities to send the required doctors within ten days and warned of agitation to shut down the Primary Health Centre, if the Govt fails to fulfill their demands.
