| After NRHM fails, Govt talks about HMIS, MCTS | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Feb 18: A five day training programme on Health Management Information System (HMIS) and Mother and Child Tracking System (MCTS) organised by the State Health Society (SHS) in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW), GoI began at Jammu University today.
During the event all the programme management units including Chief Medical Officers (CMOs), Block Medical Officers (BMOs), District Programme Managers (DPMs), District Monitoring and Evaluation Officers (DMEOs) and Block Monitoring and Evaluation Officers (BMEOs) from across the Jammu region would be imparted training on HMIS and MCTS.
The concerned seem unaware of the failure of the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM). The Mission has, rural people in Jammu and Kashmir believe, failed to bring the much needed respite to them. Notwithstanding the work done under the mission, the rural population still has to rush to SMHS, SKIMS and SMGS hospital even for minor emergencies. Not to speak of primary health centres, the district hospitals have no blood bank facility. Most of the injured persons in Valley die due to blood loss while on way to SKIMS, SMHS and B&J Hospital.
While the Government boasts of having appointed thousands of doctors and paramedics under the Rural Health Mission, the main hospitals in the State lack proper staff and infrastructure.
Giving reasons for increased deaths in SKIMS and GB Panth Hospital for children, a senior official preferring anonymity said shortage of doctors, paramedics and infrastructure is adversely affecting the functioning of these hospitals.
The CAG report has made a detailed mention of staff crunch in the hospitals forcing around two million people every year to go outside the State for treatment of various ailments.
According to CAG report there is acute shortage of drugs in the hospital. Even normal saline (glucose) is not available in the super specialty hospital. The patients have to purchase it from the market. |
