Emergency
hospital Qazi Gund that has been set on
Srinagar Jammu highway proving pivotal
in taking any accident on this road, has been without a surgeon for past 10
days since the surgeon posted there has
moved to Sub district hospital Chadoora without been relieved from hospital.
According to sources in the Emergency Hospital Qazigund, a few months
back Dr Nazir Ahmed was transferred to District Budgam and a new medico
was brought there who was a plastic surgeon.
“The department raised objection with our concerned officials and they held back transfer of the previous doctor,” the source said.
He added that some 15 days ago Dr Nazir Ahmed left for Chadoora hospital following his transfer order, but the hospital administration was not duely informed.
Medical Superintendent (MS) of the hospital, Dr SM Andrabi said that he was unaware about the transfer. “I even don’t receive his transfer copy how would I have relieved him. I wrote to Block Development Officer (BDO) Kulgam and he assured immediate action.”
Constructed at a cost of Rs 13 crore primarily for handling trauma cases the emergency hospital at Qazigund faces dearth of staff and medicines which results in most of the emergency cases shifted either to Anantnag or Srinagar.
“We are helpless. We lack both manpower as well as medicines, that is the reason most of the patients who come here with major injuries have to either be referred to District hospital Anantnag or SHMS or SKIMS in Srinagar,” a doctor said.
“This trauma hospital even doesn’t have generator to run X-Ray machines in times of electricity curtailment. If a patient comes he has to get X-Ray done from Anantnag then come here for treatment,” said another doctor.
Minister of State for Health & Medical Education, Javaid Ahmed Dar, said, JKPCC has done construction without taking suggestion from the experts which resulted in problems.
“We will look into the matter and all positive steps will be taken to improve the setup of Qazigund emergency hospital,” Dar told Kashmir Reader.
