The visiting Vidhan Sabha House Committee under the Chairmanship of Prabhat Ranjan Biswal has admitted that MKCG medical in Berhampur is marred with problems and inadequate infrastructure.
The house committee under Biswal (MLA of Tangi-Choudwar) along with members; Purna Chandra Sethi (Khallikote), Sadhu Nepak (Bargarh), Khageswar Behera (Chhendipada), Hrudananda Majhi (Nabrangpur), Ram Chandra Hansda (Sarasakana) Niranjan Pradhan (Polasara) and Chakradhar Paika (Mohana) had visited Ganjam district to review development works and to observe the problems like drinking water shortage, civil supplies, construction works and on the MKCG medical college among other important things.
Biswal, while taking note of the problems and statements of local MLAs on the MKCG Medical College here in the city, could not believe that such number of problems exists at the medical and such was the poor state of basic infrastructure of the MKCG.
Local MLA RCC Patnaik had briefed the problems of the MKCG and expressed his dissatisfaction as patients from across the southern region were being referred to neighbouring Andhra Pradesh for treatment.
He also resented that even minimum facilities like ventilators, ICUs, CT scan machines and instruments are not available. Most important problem was unavailability of required doctors, stated Berhampur MLA Patnaik.
Berhampur Mayor SS Das also expressed his dissatisfaction stating that 80 percent of the cases were being referred to medicals located in AP and doctors were doing this for commission from such hospitals.
Doctors and heads of various departments had also complained that there was less number of staffs in comparison to other medical college hospitals in the state and facilities are not being provided to develop basic infrastructure here.
House Committee Chairman Biswal had then asked the head of departments of MKCG to submit a detail report on their problems and requirements and appealed that they should provide minimum health care facilities as 10 southern districts depend on this MKCG Medical.
The house committee is visiting the tribal dominated Gajapati district on Thursday as per their schedule to review as many as 3 districts; Khurdha, Ganjam and Gajapati.
