JAMMU: Kuldeep Kumar Gupta, Secretary, Vansh Sabre Sports Foundation, on Sunday called on Secretary Health and Medical Education Department, Dr. Syed Abid Rashid Shah. Gupta discussed for opening of Dispensary and providing the services of one Physician and Nurse in Sports hub at M.A. Stadium, Jammu & Bakshi Stadium, Srinagar as it is a serious problem is being faced by the players coming to play sports at M. A. Stadium, Jammu & Bakshi Stadium, Srinagar.
In this regards a memorandum was also submitted to the Secretary Health and Medical Education and Gupta urged for swift action to ensure justice for sports persons for opening of dispensary and providing the services of one Physician and Nurse at M.A. Stadium, Jammu & Bakshi Stadium, Srinagar. Gupta told boys & girls come to M. A. Stadium in Jammu & Bakshi Stadium in Srinagar and during the practice session if any player gets injured there is no option to take first aid and the player has to be shifted to Govt. Hospital for first aid also. A timely first aid can be a life saver or can save the career of a player if immediate first aid is to be provided to them so with this facility of dispensary if any player gets injured then immediate first aid can be provided to them.
Moreover in the recent past when players get injured during training sessions they could not get the much needed first aid, so each time such incidents are reported to the GMC Hospital Jammu and Government Hospital Gandhi Nagar at Jammu and Government (LD) Laldedh Hospital, Wazirbagh Srinagar & Government SMHS Hospital Kak Sarai Srinagar. Our submission for basic medical facilities at twin venues shall go a long way in building confidence among the players. Further the efforts of Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha who is also a President of Jammu & Kashmir Sports Council and has taken commendable initiatives and endorsed the request of Vansh Sabre Sports Foundation for Establishing a Dispensary at Jammu and Srinagar was also forwarded to your office.
Therefore considering the interests of players in Boys & Girls section Kuldeep Kumar Gupta requested to issue directions to the Director Health Jammu and Director Health Srinagar for opening of dispensary to provide First Aid for players with the services of one Physician and one Nurse (Sister) in the morning and evening session from 8 AM to 10 AM and 4 PM to 6.30 PM on daily basis except holidays including Sunday in the premises of M. A. Stadium, Jammu & Bakshi Stadium, Srinagar.
