“Resolve to provide better treatment to middle class patients too”
Indore(Team Newsbuddy): The newly appointed Chief Medical and Health Officer of the city, Dr. Madhav Hasani said that he will try to establish civil hospitals in all four directions of Indore city before Simhastha 2028 so that the general public can get better treatment in government hospitals.
Dr. Hasani was talking to the media in the ‘Rubaru program’ of State Press Club, MP. He told that at present there is a district hospital in Chandan Nagar in the western region of Indore. Development work is also going on at a slow pace in this hospital since the year 2018. His priority will be that the remaining work in the district hospital is completed soon. He told that Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav and Health Minister Rajendra Shukla are focusing on health services in view of Simhastha. His effort will be to establish 200-bed civil hospitals in Rau, Khajrana, Scheme No. 78 before 2028 so that the people of the metropolis can get treatment in every corner.
Dr. Hasani informed that the health department has a large staff in the district. Five thousand employees of the health department, two thousand Asha workers, hundreds of employees of the Women and Child Development and School Education Department are also involved in providing better health services and implementing national health programs. He accepted that there is some lack in the kind of results that should come from the existing staff, he will try to improve the current conditions.
He told that the work of providing free treatment to patients is going on in Indore through District Hospital, Civil Hospital, 70 Urban Chief Minister Sanjeevani Clinics, five Tehsil level community hospitals, 134 sub-health centers etc.
Dr. Hasani said that for the lower class, Rs five lakh has been given. There is a provision for free treatment up to Rs. 10 lakhs but it has been seen that when a middle class patient approaches a private hospital for treatment, his savings get exhausted and many times he has to take a loan as well. His effort will be to ensure that middle class patients get better treatment in government hospitals. His effort will be that OPD services should continue for 8 to 10 hours in all government hospitals. Right now OPD rooms are lying vacant at many places.
He told that the staff of the health department has been instructed to behave politely with the public and work honestly. In matters like purchases in the health department, he will be in favour of working with transparency as per government rules.
In the beginning, Dr. Hasani was welcomed by Praveen Khariwal, Alok Bajpai, Rachna Johri, Ravi Chawla, Sonali Yadav, Akash Chouksey, Yashwardhan Singh, Meena Rana Shah, Mohanlal Mantri, Deepak Maheshwari, Dr. Ajay Shukla, Sudesh Gupta, Abhishek Singh Sisodia, Sanjay Mehta, Satyajit Shivnekar, Raveesh Benjamin and Praveen Dhanotiya.
