The super-speciality hospital attached to Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) is likely to be opened very soon. However, the date for the same has not been finalised as yet.
RIMS director Tulsi Mahto said that “the super-speciality hospital will be opened very soon. But the date has not been finalised as yet,” he said. The governing body meeting was attended to by K Vijay Kumar, Advisor to Governor, Health Secretary K Vidyasagar and other members of the governing council. The meeting sanctioned Rs 2 crores for infrastructures at newly constructed genetic ward of RIMS.
Director, Mahto said that the meeting discussed all the agendas and also the targets set in the last meeting. “All the agendas that we discussed today were very important. We also reviewed the progresses that we have achieved towards achieving the targets that we had set in the last general body meeting,” Mahto said.
During the meeting some doctors of institute lined up outside the chamber to press for their demands including pensions, finalisation of service rules and Non-practising of Allowance. These doctors have been denied the payment of NPA since November. One of the representatives said that these meetings have become just a routine exercise. “There is no discussion on our demands, no advancements towards finalising the service rules. Are these meetings not only routine exercise,” he argued.
