Kalimpong November 15, 2014:
Understanding
the issues of the people living below the poverty line (BPL) the health
and service department of West Bengal government has ordered for free
treatment to everyone including the people living above the poverty
level henceforth. (APL)
The SDMO, Dr. D. Sonam informed the
medias that the hospital services will be free including the charges of
X-Ray, Blood Test, ECG, USG, operations etc,. According to the
information received from the hospital authority, the APL families were
charged with the minimum government rates for their treatment and the
fund rose from the APL patients were used to buy the prescribed
medicines of the unaffordable ones.
The knowledge of the amount
patients paid for operations before is the minimum of 150 for minor
operations and 300-500 for major ones.
Explaining the systematic
delay of the wealth which government sends, Dr. Sonam said, “Sometimes
the chemical for blood test is urgently required or we face a shortage
of X-
ray films, those are the times we use the fund collected from the
APL patients.” He also insinuates the process of the government fund and
its delay in emergency situations by expressing the outcome of the
delayed fund and the necessity to use the collected amount.
The
order from the GTA was received by the hospital yesterday in which the
new system was started from today, however a meeting is fixed on Monday
to clarify the doubts of other practical problems which the hospital
often face.
