JAMMU, Oct 13: Seeking review of COVID care strategy to find out faults in preparation, Apni Party has condemned mismanagement and many controlling authorities leading to the poor coordination among the team involved in mitigation of COVID-19 in Jammu division, particularly.
“Too many officials are involved in the mitigation of coronavirus situation and it has failed the sincere efforts of the Government to fight the pandemic because of mudslinging and poor coordination in the administration, health authorities and other departments involved in it,” said Apni Party general secretary Vikram Malhotra.
Addressing a party meeting in which many youths joined the Party, Malhotra said that better coordination is needed in hospitals of Jammu and GMC Jammu particularly at the time when COVID-19 needs coordinated efforts to deal with the virus which has consumed so many lives.
Malhotra further said that the crumbling state of health sector has cost people in the districts especially and Jammu has become the victim of the situation with over-burdened GMC Jammu and hence, many people preferred treatment from Punjab and other states of the country.
“The referral hospitals have further helped the health sector to collapse at the time of COVID-19 break out. The GMC Jammu was not able to provide ventilators to all the infected patients and the allegations on how the patients were not provided oxygen should be investigated,” said Vikram Malhotra.
Malhotra said that the J&K has one of the best health care systems but poor and mis-management has worsened the situation.
Prominent among those who were present on the occasion include Ex-MLA Faqir Nath, OBC State coordinator Madan Lal Chalotra and Schedule Caste State coordinator Bodh Raj Bhagat.
