He said that only eight doctors have been working in the hospital while the sanctioned strength was 49. Though the area hospital was 100 bedded one it did not have a CT Scan facility. He said that there was a shortage of gynecologists and there was a need to appoint one radiologist. He demanded the government to establish an oxygen plant in the hospital.
He said that there is a shortage of drinking water and he would take the issue to the notice of the Chief Minister. He would try to allocate funds to create and improve the facilities in the hospital. He demanded the government to raise the salaries of the outsourced workers when outsourced workers have brought to his notice the low wages.
