Sources from SDH Mandi said, the only hospital catering the needs of the huge population is working with short of sanctioned staff and medicines.
"Be it BMO's dictatorship or untrained paramedic staff and non availability of prescribed free medicines -everything is making things from bad to worst at SDH Mandi, they added. "Moreover the private practice culture is also giving a hard blow to the health care system at this hospital, sources said and alleged that health services are also declining due to private clinics as many private laboratories have mushroomed in the area and touts of these clinics roaming in SDH Mandi lure them to go to these private labs for clinical or any other diagnostic tests.
Locals of different areas of Mandi said that they have taken up the this matter with Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Poonch, but all in vain. On speaking about NRHM scheme locals of Mandi said that this scheme has totally failed to provide the basic health facilities to the poor people of the Mandi.
They requested district administration especially Deputy Commissioner Poonch Mohammed Harun Malik to intervene to fulfill the public needs. |
