The Manav Adhikar Suraksha Manch (MASM) staged a rally again at the MKCG Medical College Hospital on Monday demanding installation of CT scan and X-Ray machines and action against the doctors who are neglecting patients at the hospital and attending private clinics.
“Tough the Health and Family Welfare Minister had recently promised to provide a CT scan machine to the MKCG Hospital, it is yet to be sanctioned.
Despite our repeated demands, no action has been doctors who are seeing doctors at private clinics during duty hours. Users’ fees are being utilised for payment of salaries to security guards and the trauma care center is yet to be functional,” alleged Manch members.
later, they submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik through the College Principal and the Superintendent urging fulfillment of the above demands at the earliest.
They too threatened that they would continue to hold protest meetings till their demands are met.
In the meanwhile, they alleged that the BN Pur police threatened and forced them to withdraw the meeting from the main gate of the medical.
Among others, Abani Gaya, Banshidhar Bhuyan, Prasant Kumar Das, Gouri Shankar Mohanty, Maguni Nahak, Rajendra Panda, R Satyanarayan Rao, Surjya Kant Sahu, Manas Ranjan Patro and Prabhat Kiran Sadangi were present.
