Our Correspondent
Mandi Gobindgarh, January 1
Government-run institutions have failed to provide the desired results as doctors are not available in rural dispensaries and teachers not present in rural schools, said Mr Shamsher Singh Dullo, MP, who was the chief guest on the annual function of Parbhat Puri Charitable Hospital, here recently. He lamented that in spite of good salaries, employees did not perform their duties well due to a lack of spirit of service towards the downtrodden. To cope with the situation, NGOs and other organisations should come forward and help the suffering society, he said. He suggested that affordable services provided by this hospital should be made available in the rural areas as well. He appealed to the Civil Surgeon, Fatehgarh Sahib, who was also present on the occasion, to improve health services, particularly in the rural areas. Mr Dullo announced a grant of Rs 5 lakh from his discretionary fund and assured more funds for the development of the hospital. He also released a souvenir on the occasion. The guest of honour, Dr Harbans Lal, Minister of Forests, Food and Civil Supplies, appreciated the services provided by the hospital to the poor people of the area. He said the trust managing the hospital had done commendable work to establish such an institution in the area. He announced a grant of Rs 50,000 out of his discretionary fund. Mr Sadhu Singh Dharamsot, MLA, Amloh, said the trust had taken forth the mission of Guru Nanak Dev to serve the people. The chief patron of the trust, Mahant Parbhatpuri, said about 8 years back a dispensary was started to provide the cheap treatment to the poor. With the help of the people and the God, the dispensary had become one of the best hospitals in the state, he said. The president of the trust, Mr Prem Chand Bansal, said now a 50-bed hospital had all modern facilities with the help of Mr Kanhiya Lal Bardeja, Mr Ram Gopal, Mr Gaja Nand, Mr Lal Chand, Mr Harmesh Jain and other trustees. New facilities included an ultrasound machine donated by the Rotary Club and Paediatric care centre. Dr M K Bansal, general secretary of the trust, advocated for quality treatment as a healthy mother with a healthy child made a healthy society. Appreciating the expert services at the hospital, he said the hospital was progressing well under the guidance of its in charge, Dr Manju Chahal. Dr Sumit Bansal, Dr Gurjeet Kaur and Dr Savroop K. Romana, were present round-the-clock in the hospital. Mr Shanker Lal performed the duties of the stage secretary.
