Phagwara, November 11
The state government will soon set up a trauma centre in Phagwara to provide medical help to those who sustain injuries in road mishaps.
This was announced by Health Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu while addressing mediapersons after laying the foundation stone of 30-bed Mother and Child Healthcare Centre today. A sum of Rs 6 crore would be spent on both centres of the Civil Hospital.
He said 46 lakh families had been covered under the Sarbat Bima Yojana in 611 hospitals of the state. The minister appealed to chemists to provide medicines on cheaper rates to people. Sidhu, however, warned medical staff to mend their behaviour and be friendly with patients. Local MLA Balwinder Singh Dhaliwal, former minister Joginder Singh Maan and Kapurthala Civil Surgeon Jasmeet Bawa and Senior Medical Officer Kamal Kishore addressed the gathering. — OC
