The Shamator Town Public Forum (STPF) stands firm in its demand for the deployment of sufficient medical staff and equipment at the Community Health Centre (CHC) in Shamator. Despite the Health department’s recent reminder for cooperation in addressing the shortage of healthcare workers, the STPF reiterates that the district currently has no fully equipped CHC and only one general medical officer available to serve the entire populace.
Residents in the area have had to seek medical treatment in other district hospitals despite being economically disadvantaged. The STPF has requested a physical inspection of the health centre’s current facilities and questioned the motives behind its setup. Additionally, the forum demands the immediate deployment of the necessary personnel and equipment at the CHC before the deadline set a month ago.
The STPF warns of potential consequences if the Health department fails to meet their demands. The continued struggle in acquiring basic healthcare needs highlights an apparent disparity in the provision of medical assistance across the region. It is crucial for the authorities to address the fundamental issue of adequate healthcare provision and bridge the healthcare gap in the community.
