Bajhang: There is a problem in daily service delivery in Bajhang district hospital due to lack of health workers as required. According to the hospital, after three medical officers working on contract in the 15-bed district hospital Bajhang left, now they have to run the services with the help of four medical officers.
According to the acting medical superintendent of the hospital, Dr. Navraj Joshi, four doctors who have been working in the district hospital have left after getting opportunities in other projects. The government has not sent a new doctor to replace the one who left. He said that even when he ran to the province and Sagh to send it, there was no hearing from the relevant authorities.
Sonu Sih, chairman of the hospital development committee, said – “We have repeatedly requested to send doctors to Sagh and the province, but there has been no hearing till now. There is a problem with not having a doctor in a health-conscious place. Chairman Sih said that there is no interest in sending a doctor and the number of patients is increasing day by day. “
As soon as the doctor left, the hospital said that there was no hearing after repeatedly talking to different agencies and correspondence. Currently, 4 medical officers (doctors) have to attend to the patients 24 hours a day in the district hospital Bajhang. It is also feared that more than 200 patients are coming to the hospital daily. Due to the shortage of doctors, it is said that there is a problem in providing services on time.
Acting Medical Superintendent Dr. Joshi said – “Patients are complaining that they did not get treatment on time, we do not have enough manpower, it is not possible to provide quick and efficient service.” “
Due to the large number of dengue and screw typhus patients in the hospital, the daily congestion in the hospital is increasing. Due to lack of sufficient manpower, outpatient services, emergency, maternity services, x-ray, video x-ray, surgery, newborns and wall disease patients are being served. The hospital administration said that there was a problem.
