Port Blair, Apr 06: Chakraborty Multi Specialty Hospital celebrates its 6th Anniversary on 6th April 2014. From a very humble clinic, the hospital today has become a multispecialty hospital with a team of 10 doctors. Many unique & rare cases have been done here right from Pacemaker implantation, Urosurgery, Laparoscopic Gastrointestinal surgery to its upcoming Heart Care Centre.
The hospital has performed many free camps at far flunged areas of Port Blair, Mayabunder, Rangat & Diglipur. Infact the budget for this year’s anniversary celebration is being diverted to treatment of Mr. Parimal Das of Diglipur (a c/o Orbital Neurofibroma) to mainland, for which hospital has contributed nearly Rs. 60,000.
Hospital plans to invest further on infrastructure so that Islanders need not to go to mainland for treatment. However the only hitch is reimbursement of Government employees.
It is so ironic that when a patient receives treatment at mainland, his or her bills are reimbursed but not when he receives same treatment at a hospital which is near to his or her home.
Reimbursement of treatment received here will go a long way in helping the islanders as well as encouraging young doctors like Dr. Chakraborty to come back to their hometown and offer their services. The way hotel industry is encouraged by the administration, in the same manner it’s high time now that private hospitals should be encouraged so that islanders can pick & choose hospital according to their liking and faith.
