Kakching, November 02 2023:
Community Health Centre (CHC), Wangoo Laipham Hospital Management Committee has urged the government to revoke the transfer order of Dr A Shyamchandra, who is the sole gynaecology doctor in the CHC, to Jiribam considering the plight of Wangoo villagers.
Speaking to media persons on Thursday in the presence of Committee's chairman and members, one A Angousana pointed out that since its upgrade to CHC by former health minister L Jayantakumar, the health centre is yet to get the required doctors, nurses, staff and infrastructure.
He continued that amidst all these shortages, if Dr A Shyamchandra, the only gynaecologist of the CHC, is transferred then womenfolk of the area have nowhere to go during their pregnancy term which is akin to leaving them to fend for themselves.
