Port Blair, Jan 07: Despite having the only heart care centre of islands the road to Chakraborty Multi Speciality Hospital is full of potholes and nonexistent drain and is in worst condition since three years. Persistent request by Dr. Sudip Chakraborty to panchayat samiti and ward councilors haven’t yielded any result till date.
The Heart Care Centre that it houses, has saved more than five hundreds lives including five Indian tourist from Kolkata, Delhi and Chandigarh. They received emergency Pacemaker and Primary Angioplasty. Even a national newspaper of repute ”Bartman” from Kolkata was effusive in praise about the hospital. They were surprised to see the Heart Care Centre in a small Union Territory like A&N Islands when other states of India like same north eastern states did not have it despite their population much higher than the islands.
Its time along with tourism, hospital tourism should be encouraged and all the hospital asks is a decent road, which apparently is falling in deaf ears.
