Saroori visited GMC enquires about
the health of patients
Jammu, Dec 20: - Senior Congress
Leader and MLA Inderwal, Mr. Ghulam Mohammad Saroori today said it’s not just
medicines which heal the sick, but the environment too had a major role but it
is unfortunate that the city’s main government hospital GMC&H, where a
number of patients come for the treatment is in a pathetic condition.
Mr. Saroori who visited Government
Medical College and Hospital to enquire about the health of Zaitoona Begum who
is suffering from heart disease and needs pacemaker insertion and Choudhary
Ismaeil who suffering from Kidney problem.
Mr. Saroori was accompanied by HOD
Dr. Susheel Sharma, Dr. Bali and other officers of the Hospital.
Mr. Saroori interacted with the
patients at GMC&H Jammu and assured them all help. He instructed the
Hospital authorities and Doctors to provide every required medical facility to
the patients so that they do not feel any inconvenience.
Mr. Saroori said Government Medical
College & Hospital has failed to look after the sanitation of the hospital
and associated institutions which are in shambles.
“Emergency Wing of the hospital
caters to thousands of patients from across the state every day, but when it
comes to the sanitation, there is lot to be desired. The bathrooms in the
hospital are overflowing with sewage, and dirty water. The pipes are leaking,
the faucets do not work, and toilets smell as is these have not been cleaned
for years”, Saroori said
He said that the institute needs to
take a cue from its counterparts in the private sector as far as matters of
cleanliness and hygiene are concerned or go over to a military hospital to find
an example to emulate. Patients and their caretakers as such are facing tough
time particularly in the Emergency ward of the Government Medical College &
hospital due to poor maintenance of the toilets.
Citing an example Mr. Saroori said
my son who was admitted in GMC&H last month said to me that the toilet of
the Hospital is in a pathetic and untidy condition and cannot afford to stand
even for few seconds in the unhygienic toilets.
Later he bought the matter into the
kind notice to Medical Superident as it can cause severe infection to the
patients who are already suffering but when I visit after one month second
times the condition of sanitation is same.
Mr. Saroori said government really needs to improve the hygienic conditions of not only GMC&H Jammu but other government hospitals in the state as well.
