Imphal, April 02 2021:
Claiming that the Primary Health Centre (PHC) at Mayang Imphal doesn't even have a dressing facility, the Mayang Imphal Khuman Youth Association (MIKHYA) urged the department concerned to look into the matter at the earliest.
Briefing media persons at the Manipur Press Club on March 31, MIKHYA president, Irengbam Ibohal narrated that he visited the PHC on March 30 last for a simple dressing of his wife wound at around 8.30 am.
Saying that he found no staff at the PHC on his second visit to the health centre at around 11 am the same day, Ibohal claimed that two staff of the PHC at the quarters responded that there is no dressing facility at the PHC.
Ibohal then said that his wife received treatment at CHC Wangoi.
General secretary of MIKHYA, James Ningthoujam also claimed that doctors and nurses at PHC Mayang Imphal are not performing their duties wholeheartedly.
Saying that dereliction of duty by the medical practitioners will invite agitations from the local clubs and people of Mayang Imphal, he urged the department concerned to look into the matter at the earliest.
