| Budgam Health centre 'posing threat' to public health | | | Early Times Report
Budgam, Dec 31: A Government health centre in Bagaat e Kanipora in central Kashmir's Budgam district is endangering human life.
Locals said the centre has become a garbage dump and the foul smell emanating from it makes life of the locals miserable.
Details available with Early Times reveal that a Government Health Centre located at Mengen Waji B K Pora district Budgam was constructed few years ago by the authorities . The health centre was handed over to health department ie Block Medical Officer (BMO) Chattergam but authorities hardly bothered to undertake the necessary fencing or boundary walling. As the centre happens to be located on the roadside the locals have used this place to dump all the waste material and other garbage.
The health authorities seem not interested in setting things right.
The local youth tried to raise this issue with administration but there was always lukewarm response from the authorities. While talking to Early Times Musadiq Wani a social activist from Gopalpora Chadoora said that local health department officials are least bothered to act inspite of repeated pleas by the staff.
This is not the case with BK Pora health centre only but another health centre which infact is a public health centre (PHC) located at Soibugh is also in shambles. Early Times had carried a detailed report on this in October this year. The said centre was established decades ago but isn't in a position to deliver the services to the satisfaction of the people of the area. People of the area have no faith in the medical staff posted there as they are left with no choice but to visit other areas to get their health related problems addressed.
Soibugh village which has a huge catchment area craves for the better health facilities which aren't available there thanks to the negligence of the people in power. This area of the Budgam district has failed to draw the attention of the people in the power since the sitting NC MLA seems to have no interest about Soibug who according to locals haven't voted for him during last elections.
The PHC building is in the shambles that hardly gives look of a hospital. It is more a circus show than a hospital as people of the area say that the doctors posted have done their degrees in Indian System of Medicine.
"The medicos posted in the PHC Soibugh have no worth as they shift the patients from here to manage the simplest plain. Patients could be seen being ferried to SKIMS Bemina since it isn't far away from here. It is the routine here and the medicos do it to relieve themselves of the tension," said Bashir Ahmad, a resident.
