Sri Vijaya Puram, Nov 25: The Andaman Nicobar Territorial Congress Committee President Mr. Rangalal Halder has formally addressed a pressing issue to the Secretary (Health), A & N Administration, seeking urgent action regarding the repair and maintenance of the X-ray machine at the Primary Health Centre (PHC), Kadamtala, Middle Andaman.
In his letter, Mr. Halder highlighted that the non-functional X-ray machine at PHC Kadamtala has been causing immense hardship for residents of the region, who rely heavily on the facility for diagnostic services. The prolonged downtime of this essential equipment has forced patients, including those from nearby villages, to travel long distances for X-ray services, resulting in delayed diagnoses and treatments, particularly in critical cases.
Acknowledging the vital role of the PHC in providing healthcare to a vast population, Mr. Halder has urged the Administration to prioritize the immediate repair of the X-ray machine. Furthermore, he also emphasized the need for a regular maintenance schedule to prevent similar disruptions in the future.
