Maha Govt medical college in Chandrapur lacks essential equipment: Shiv Sena leader Danve
Ambadas Danve, who belongs to the Uddhav Thackeray-led faction of the Shiv Sena, visited Government Medical College and Hospital in Chandrapur and alleged that the government hospital lacks essential equipment to treat people. During his visit to the hospital, he met Dean Dr Ashok Nitnawre, patients and medical students.
After visiting Government Medical College and Hospital in Chandrapur on Tuesday, the leader of the opposition in Maharashtra Legislative Council Ambadas Danve alleged the hospital lacks essential equipment to treat people.
Danve, who belongs to the Uddhav Thackeray-led faction of the Shiv Sena, visited Government Medical College and Hospital and he met Dean Dr Ashok Nitnawre, patients and medical students. During his meeting with Danve, the dean said that the process to procure the equipment was on.
He expressed his dissatisfaction on Twitter and tagged the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Sudhir Mungantiwar, who is the guardian minister of Chandrapur, and tweeted, " It is surprising that a leader like him can have such inefficient deans in a medical college in Chandrapur. They could not give any information about where the wards of their own hospital are, which medicine is how much. What patient care will these people do?"
"Chandrapur hospital does not have basic surgical equipment. Future doctors have to bear the wrath of patients' relatives if they do not get the necessary materials. And if there is such imperfect material, how can they become perfect doctors?"
A few medical students also met the MLC and said the hospital lacks machines to conduct CT scans and ultrasonography. “We do not even have basic things for administering anaesthesia,” one of them told Danve.
“If a machine stops functioning, it is not even repaired on priority. We have to shift patients to some other facility,” said another student, as reported by The Week.
