Imphal, October 15 2023:
While pointing out that health department secretariat had issued an order posting two medicalofficers at PHC, Kwakta on September 15, All Kwakta Coordinating Committee (AKCOC) has informed that of the two, one identified as Dr Ibotomba Khuraijam is yet to join the health centre even after a month.
In a release, AKCOC secretary Aktar Shah urged authorities concerned to look into the matter and ensure that the doctor join his place of posting at the earliest.
He recalled that chief medical officer, Bishnupur had sent a letter to Health Services director informing about the non-joining of the doctor.
Yet no positive actions have been taken up so far, he lamented.
Drawing attention of authorities concerned towards inadequacies in the health centre including lack of doctors and water, he appealed for taking up necessary measures for redressing the inadequacies.
He also informed about lack of space/rooms for doctors that led to the failure to treat patients despite having eye and dental surgeons.
Moreover, non-fencing of the health centre's campus make patients and their families feel very insecure, Akhtar stated, while reiterating to look into all these issues.
