District Hospital in sorry state

Imphal, July 04 2016:
Ukhrul District hospital, a major health care centre in the dis-
trict, has recently become risky for the patients owing to lack of
hygienic atmosphere inside the hospital campus.
Located at Kamphasom at Ukhrul, the 50 bedded district
hospital looks like a deserted place with overgrown bushes
and unmaintained, clogged drains overflowing with water
and muddy slimes right at the entrance of the patient's ward,
our correspondent reports.
A family of a patient admitted in the patient's ward for
the last three days expressed dismay over the hospital's
unhygienic condition.
Efforts to reach the medical superin-
tendent on the matter yielded no results as the medical
superintendent is always out of station.
The medical superintendent hardly stays for three days
in a month at Ukhrul, a reliable source told this correspond-
ent.
The families attending the patients have appealed to the
State Government to look into the matter and ensure the
well being of the people.
