The JAH Group of Hospitals, the largest hospital group in the Gwalior Chambal Division has appealed to the public, especially the social organisations and business community to lend a hand to improve the situation in the hospital.
Dr Ashok Mishra, the Superintendent of the hospital, has called for community participation so that the health system in the hospital can be improved. According to the Medical Superintendent, the focus of the public participation is to strengthen the health care system in the various departments.
Speaking to the media persons, Dr Mishra said that the primary focus will be the OPD section where more than thousand patients from various corners of the division come every day. He added that there is a shortage of proper furniture for the doctors and patients to sit; whatever furniture is there is old and unusable. He asked the public to come forward and donate furniture for the OPD.
Dr Mishra further said that the Indian Medical Association has already pledged to donate to the Madhav Dispensary furniture valued at Rs 25,000.00. He also asked the public not to donate money in cash but to provide the necessary items, like furniture, blankets, bed sheets, light fittings, carpets etc. He added that if the donors so wish the can have their names imprinted on the items they donate.
Dr Mishra further said that the city has more than five hundred social organisations and various clubs. He opined that even if half of them come forward with a helping hand, most of the problems in the hospital can be solved.
The Medical Superintendent further said that anyone who wishes to donate any material to the hospital can contact him on 7999656804.
