MLA inspects General Hospital in Jhajjar

Jhajjar, November 15

Congress MLA Geeta Bhukkal today paid a surprise visit to the General Hospital in Jhajjar city and took stock of the arrangements there for the treatment of patients. She also received feedback from the patients .

Talking to the media, Bhukkal said there was an acute shortage of physicians and pediatricians in a situation when dengue cases were rising with every passing day.

“I have talked to the Director-General (Health) over the phone and urged her to fulfil the shortage of doctors. She has assured to send some more doctors to the General Hospital on deputation soon,” said the MLA. Expressing dissatisfaction over the fogging to check dengue, Bhukkal said dengue was wreaking havoc in the district but the government’s claim of carrying out fogging in every village had fallen flat as fogging had not been done in many villages.

She took a dig at the state government for announcing to send fogging machines to every district. The MLA said she was looking for such machines in Jhajjar. — TNS
