ARNIA, Jan 5: Shiv Sena Hindustan J&K President Pt Rajesh Kesri today expressed concern over lack of sanitation and other medical facilities in the government run hospitals in rural areas.
Addressing a meeting of party workers, Kesri said that absence of proper facilities in government hospitals are adding to the adversities of ailing patients.
Highlighting the lack of facilities in Arnia hospital, Kesri said, “There are nearly 100 villages and only hospital in Arnia Block, which lacks facilities to cater the needs of people living in these villages.”
He said that this hospital lacks specialized departments and equipment, making it difficult for patients to receive timely and appropriate care. Outdated and insufficient infrastructure in the old building, inadequate lighting and insufficient sanitation facilities compromise patient care and safety.”
“The hospital struggles to attract and retain medical professionals, leading to staffing shortages and increased workload for remaining staff and also lacks advanced diagnostic equipment, such as MRI or CT scanners, making it difficult to accurately diagnose and treat patients besides no emergency services, including ambulance services, emergency rooms and trauma care,” he added.
Kesri further said that existing Sub-District Hospitals should be strengthened to manage more complex medical cases, ensuring timely and effective treatment for the local population. Ensuring 24×7 availability of specialized care at these hospitals is essentials for timely and efficient treatment, especially in critical situations.
Among others who were present on the occasion included Balveer Kumar, Balwant Saini, Rajkumar Baba, Sanjeev Sharma, Rajesh Kumar, Suresh Kumar, Bhushan Kumar, Rajendra Kumar, Dakshin Devi, Geeta Devi, Pooja Devi and Anita Devi.
