Repair work started in emergency block without shifting patients

By; Tahir Mushtaq
GNS JAMMU : It seems that Government Medical College (GMC) has forget its professional ethics as it has started repair work in the emergency block without shifting the patients admitted there. The people admitted in the block have to face the dust and unclean surroundings, which can further create health problem for them.
According to the sources, the construction work of the emergency block of GMC has been started by the authorities without shifting the patients out in the emergency ward. The cement and the dust is all around the patients admitted in the ward due to which patients find it unhygienic and unsuitable for having treatment.
"Whereas, there is a 30 bedded block present in the hospital to accommodate the patients in healthy environment but the authorities is playing with the health of the patients. The block is provided with every possible facility for the patients’ better treatment" they added.
The patients have complained about the unhygienic environment to the authorities but the hospital authorities are not paying attention to these problems.
One of the patients said that they asked the higher authorities about the problems they have to face but no consideration has been given to their concerns. He said that they are already not in a position to further convince them about their condition.
An attendant complained that whenever the cement bags are opened the dust spreads in the environment and they have to inhale the same air due to which their health can be affected. He said that this fact is best known to the doctors but they are neglecting this.
Narinder Singh said that it is good that GMCH is undergoing a construction work but it should not be done at the cost of the health of the patients.
However when contacted Medical Superintendent, GMCH Romesh Gupta said that there are none of the patients with critical health problems have been admitted in the area where the renovation is going on.
Whereas talking about the full equipped block he said that there is no extra staff for the patients for shifting them in the block.
"It clearly shows the attitude of the authorities who are aiming to run the AIIMS like institutions in the state. They have no sympathy for the people’s health " said a insider.

When the holy Quran was placed before Mohammed Maqbool Butt on the morning of February 11, 1984, he knew that death awaited him in the phansi kothi a few yards away. A high voltage bulb burning outside the grated doors of his solitary cell in the death row was indicative of the outside darkness. If he had had any hopes of living awhile yet, they were dashed by the presence of the” prison doctors. Jail superintendent, A.B. Shukla/had paid Butt a visit in the middle of the previous night. Shukla chatted with him for a long time but cautiously avoided any talk about the execution. “I will see you on Monday”, Butt’s counsel on record, the sallow-complexioned R.C. Pathak, had told him during a brief interview they were allowed on the evening of February 10.

Butt was n...
