Port Blair, Mar 02: The Andaman Nicobar Territorial Congress Committee President Mr. Rangalal Halder seeks the Administration in resolving the difficulties being faced by the inpatients in the GB Pant Hospital.
In his letter addressed to the Chief Secretary, A & N Administration, Mr. Halder said that the patients’ Ward in GB Pant Hospital are being inappropriately maintained as deteriorated Conditions and Unhealthy hygiene have been observed in several wards during the visit.
He stated that the Govt. GB Pant Hospital has No proper basic treatment facilities like Ventilation System, Exhaust Fans, Wheelchair for Handicapped patients and other necessary equipment which are either not functioning or operated in the Hospital.
He also pointed towards the Govt. Ayush Hospital in which the treatment of Physiotherapy was not accomplishing well as the staff is least in numbers whereas maximum staff is needed to be appointed in serving the patients in the Hospital.
He alleged that the Blood Testing Check-up’s and other Basic Treatments were not to be considered to be provided at the GB Pant Hospital rather than that the patients are advised by the practitioner to fulfil their required treatment in the Private Hospitals.
He also mentioned that In GB pant Hospital, Private attendants are appointed with a Charge rate of Rs. 1000-2000 per Patient a day which creates a huge indiscrimination towards the patients through which they are losing their faith and trust towards the Govt. Hospitals.
He further requested the Administration to kindly look in this regard as it is the most important issue to be discussed and more quickly to be resolved.
