Issue of defunct ventilators discussed in Assembly
Shahpur legislator Kewal Singh Pathania on Tuesday raised the issue of alleged negligence in medical care at Tanda Medical College, Kangra, due to defunct ventilators, resulting in a death due to snake bite.
“As per my information, there are 92 ventilators at Tanda medical college, so why were they not functional? There must be accountability and a time-bound inquiry must be held,” said Pathania.
