Imphal, April 10 2010:
Rectifying report published in The Sangai Express, a source quoting some medical practitioners said doctors of Joint Director rank in the State Health Services are not involved in setting up of private clinics or laboratories.
Reacting to the report, the source said there are cases wherein doctors holding post above the rank of Joint Director are directly or indirectly responsible for commercialising health care system through the private medical centres and laboratories.
Asserting that no doctor of Joint Director rank is involved in the flourishing trade of private medical centres, the source nevertheless conceded that out of humane consideration and sympathy, professional service is extended beyond the ambit of Government hospitals.
