Imphal, July 27 2015:
A new Primary Health Centre (PHC) was inaugurated today at Nongpok Keithelmanbi within Andro Assembly Constituency by Health and Family Welfare Minister Phungzathang Tonsing.
Speaking at the inaugural function, Phungzathang stated that the PHC would remain open round the clock and it would go a long way in providing basic health care facilities to people of the surrounding areas.
Out of 600 doctors appointed through MPSC for placement in both the hills and valley, 168 have gone for Post Graduate courses.
As such there is some shortage of doctors.
Once those doctors who went for PG courses return home, specialist doctors can be posted in different parts of the State.
Phungzathang then called upon all doctors and nurses to serve patients with care and dedication.
He also appealed to all individuals/organisations not to slap unreasonable monetary demands on doctors or nurses.
MLA Th Shyamkumar, Health Director Dr O Ibomcha, Family Welfare Director Dr K Rajo and AYUSH Director Dr K Lokendro were also present at the inaugural function.
