“During an emergency, we took patients to the health care center, Tadas PHON established in the village.
With the absence of adequate facilities, doctors refer patients to Tadas PHC, which also does not have many facilities like that.
Then we shift the patient to the hospital KIMS, “he said.
Ramesh Kadam, a resident of Kalghatigi Taluk said, “There is a need for the laboratory in all PHCs, along with facilities to attend 24×7 emergency patients.
In the villages of dog bites, snake bite and scorpion bites often occur.
But because of the unavailability of doctors and other facilities , people find it difficult to get medical help on time.
At the top of Covid, people are afraid of approaching Taluk Hospitals and other hospitals who are afraid of viral exposure.
Because of the unavailability of facilities in PHC, patients are forced to visit KimS Hospital.
