The Manav Adhikar Surakhya Manch held its 84th Ghanta Yatra (cymbal rally) here on Tuesday, demanding upgrading of the Red Cross Hospital to a special hospital for children and women and early functioning of the indoor ward for senior citizens in the City Hospital and the super-specialty department in the MKCG Medical College Hospital.
Manch coordinator Abani Kumar Gaya said many problems in different hospitals in city, including functioning of a trauma care centre and installation of CT scan and Digital X-ray machines in the MKCG Hospital, have been resolved after continued protests by the Manch.
He lamented saying that senior citizens coming to the City Hospital get pains in standing in a queues to consult doctors.
On many occasions, they have also returned disappointed without getting treatment, he said.
