Ghaziabad: If not 23, please give us 10 doctors to run the hospital, the DCH management opinion.
After failing to get one doctor despite writing at least five times to the government for the past half a year, the management of the district combination hospital has now shot another letter to the state government that urges them to give a “minimum” number of doctors so they can run the hospital.
Against the power of sanctions 39 doctors, there are only 16 Medicos who work here.
In a letter to the Special Secretary of the Ministry of Health, the Head of the Medical Supervisory (CMS) Dr.
Sanjay Teotia stated that there was an acute shortage of doctors who caused great difficulties in running OPD, emergency and trauma services in the hospital.
In the end, patients did not get facilities as desired by the state government.
To deal with the current crisis, hospital management has compiled a middle ground and urges the state health department to provide the minimum number of doctors.
According to this latest communike, the hospital has demanded at least two surgeons against four-approved positions.
As of the seven emergency medical officer posts, only one that is fulfilled at this time, the hospital requires that three more emo tells of emergency wards and trauma.
The hospital is increasingly demanding that all two doctor’s posts and the three emos (women) be filled.
The district hospital viewed an average of 900 patients in the patient’s department (OPD) every day and could not handle operations, medicolegal and emergency cases.
CMS said he had to intervene in some cases where doctors did not attend emergency and medical cases and make alternative settings.
In addition, patients were also forced to make several rounds of hospitals, because they long waited in the queue on Ops.
