We have a labour room, laboratory facilities in this institution but there is no Gynecologist and other doctors. All the delivery cases are referred to other hospitals. Besides there are no medicines available in the hospital," locals said.
Castigating the state government locals said, "Being poor people of remote area, we don't have money to visit several health care institutions", they said. "We have apprised the local MLA about the problems faced by us on many occasions but he has failed to address our genuine grievances." The health institution caters to the population of more than 12 thousands souls, who are spread across length and breadth of mighty mountains.
