JAMMU: Jammu Kashmir Medical Employees Federation (JKMEF) has condemned casual behaviour of the concerned doctors of Sub District Hospital (SDH) Akhnoor as well as the poor administration of Block Medical Officer Akhnoor.
Talking to reporters here today JKMEF President Sushil Sudan said a lady hailing from a Tehsil Akhnoor visited Sub-District Hospital (SDH) Akhnoor with labour pain and the doctors directed the family members of the lady to shift her to SMGS Hospital.
He further said the family members boarded a private bus as concerned doctors failed to provide ambulance to the lady for shifting to SMGS Hospital.
He raised questioned that why SDH Akhnoor failed to provide ambulance though there is a provision under JYSSK to provide ambulance for Gynae patients for timely transportation. Prior to reach SMGS Hospital, Sushil said, the lady, who is the wife of Vakil Chand, basic health worker working in Health Department, suffered severe labour pain near Directorate of Health Services Complex, where one Bharat Bhushan Bhagat, a Pharmacist, reached the spot and carried out the normal delivery in the bus and saved both the mother and the child.
Meanwhile, Sushil Sudan, while condemning the attitude of Block Medical Officer, Akhnoor, who had failed to tackle this emergency demanded punishment for both BMO and erring gynecologist on duty to avoid such inhuman acts by so called hardworking doctors in future.
