Port Blair, July 08:
Shri Kuldeep Rai Sharma, Member of Parliament, A&N Islands has requested
the Hon'ble Lt. Governor, A&N Islands to provide land at the premises of GB
Pant Hospital, Port Blair for construction of a building under MPLAD fund to
create accommodation facilities for the Inter Islands patient's attenders.
He informed the Lt.
Governor that many poor patients come from different part of Inter Islands such
as Diglipur, Kalighat, Mayabunder, Billiground, Rangat, Kadamtala, Baratang,
Swaraj Dweep, Saheed Dweep, Little Andaman, Car Nicobar, Nancowry Group of
Islands, Campbell Bay and from remote places of South Andaman to GB Pant
Hospital for further treatment who are referred by the respective PHC/CHC.
These patients are coming along with attenders to take care of them during
treatment. However due to non availability of accommodation facilities in the
premises of GB Pant Hospital for the attenders, they are facing great hardship
who are so poor and cannot afford to stay at any lodge and cannot bear the
transportation expenses to visit the hospital daily.
He further said that
during his recent visit to GB Pant Hospital, he saw that all the attenders are
lying on the floor at different places and possibility of getting infection is
very high as the Corana positive cases are admitted in the GB Pant Hospital
which is increasing day by day. Apart from this, generally hospitals are always
place of high infection. Therefore, he request the Lt. Governor to provide land
within the premises of GB Pant Hospital for constructing a building and the
construction cost will be given by MP from MP fund were poor people can stay
free of cost, a communication said.
