EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, July 18: The emergency wing of Government Medical College (GMC) Hospital will be shifted to newly constructed building within a week. This will be the first Department of the GMC which will be shifted to new building after the up gradation of Hospital on pattern of All India Institute of Medical Sciences(AIIMS). According to high placed sources the Medical Education Department is under constant pressure regarding shifting of various wings of GMC to newly constructed buildings for providing better Medicare facilities to patients. The sources said constant delay in up gradation of GMC Hospital on pattern of AIIMS the work on which was started in 2003-04 has drawn a lot of criticism from opposition.
The sources said, the Minister for Medical Education Mr. R.S.Chib convened an emerging meeting of senior doctors of the GMC here on Saturday and gave directives to them regarding the shifting of at least the emergency wing of the hospital to new building. Mr. Chib has turned down all the pleas from the hospital management who were having certain reservations in this regards the sources added.
The Minister is understood to have told the senior doctors and hospital management that any further delay in shifting to newly constructed building will create further problems for the Government. He however assured the management and doctors that their problems will be taken care of after the emergency wing is shifted to new building. The sources said, that the management has brought various problems being faced by the doctors and lack of infrastructure facilities. But the Minister while justifying these demands assured the doctors that Government will take steps in providing adequate staff after the shifting of various wings of the hospital to newly constructed building. He however stressed that the strength of beds in the emergency wing of the hospital will not be increased for time being and its strength will be the same as it is at existing stage.
The sources said some doctors in the hospital were not interested in shifting the emergency wing to newly constructed building so they tried to prevail upon the Minister to postpone the decision for the time being. However the Minister snubbed them by turning down their pleas out rightly, the sources added. The sources said the hospital is however facing the manpower shortage and to run the hospital on AIIMS pattern for round the clock the staff strength of the Hospital needs to be redoubled. For this the Government has to start recruitment process for both technical as well as non-technical staff for which no headway has been made till date, the sources added.
