Chief Minister Raghubar Das during the review meeting of National Health Mission (NHM) programmes today said that a separate management wing in all major hospitals of the State must be created for better supervision. On the lines of Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Sadar hospitals should also have separate management unit for delivering best services to the patients, he said.
The decision has come taking into account the burden on the doctors, who at times are engaged in administrative jobs of the hospitals for maintaining better coordination. “After separating administrative wing, doctors’ job will be to treat patients only. For managing the hospital affairs, personnel having specialized knowledge in hospital management will be recruited,” said the CM while issuing instructions to the officials.
Meanwhile, during the review meet, it was decided that a State level Blood Donation Camp will be organized soon to increase the availability of blood in the State. Further, the Chief Minister instructed the officers to provide best medical services to women and children and keep aspirational districts including the six most backward districts of the State on priority list.
The CM instructed the officials to conduct campus selections at all medical colleges to eradicate the dearth of medical practitioners. Also, he instructed the officials to recruit AYUSH doctors at the panchayat level to bridge the gap.
Alongside, the CM ordered the officials to open blood banks in seven districts of the State at earliest where the facility is yet to be started. Moreover, the State government will provide financial assistance to the charitable organizations who cremates unclaimed bodies by giving an incentive amount of Rs 1000 for each unclaimed body to such institutions working for a social cause.
The meeting was attended by Minister Health and Family Welfare Ramchandra Chandravanshi, Chief Secretary Sudhir Tripathi, Development Commissioner DK Tiwari, Principal Secretary Health and Family Welfare Nidhi Khare, Principal Secretary to Chief Minister Sunil Kumar Baranwal, Welfare Secretary Himani Pandey including other senior officials.
