Jostling with anomalies rampant in almost every department of the premier health institution of the State — Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) — the State Government finally provided much needed respite at least for the attendants of patients admitted at RIMS. Health Minister Ramchandra Chandravanshi inaugurated a Raen Basera (Night shelter) meant for stay of attendants and relatives of patients at RIMS premises on Wednesday.
“Our aim is to improve the condition of RIMS and provide best facilities to the patients. It is very common to find people staying in corridors of the hospital today due to lack of sufficient space. But, the Raen Basera will provide suitable accommodation to one and all related
with RIMS patients”, said Chandravanshi.
Giving emphasis on Swachchh Bharat Abhiyan the Minister said that it was the responsibility of common masses to maintain the night shelter and keep it hygienic. In normal circumstances, people should not use the rooms for more than 2-3 days for staying, he added.
Interim Director of RIMS Dr Shameen Haider, said, “We will try to fix the charges of Rain Basera and in near future ensure that more night shelters should be established with all facilities so that we can serve more people”.
“All basic facilities such as medicine and blankets will be provided to the people. Presently 70 rooms are available in the Raen Basera,” he added.
