Citizen Welfare Society (CWS) Kiphire has appealed the concern department of District Hospital Kiphire (DHK) about the absence of medical superintendent since the past one and half year.
A press note by CWS president, Tsili Mongzar stated that during the CWS visit to the District Hospital Kiphire (DHK) on July 3 was surprised to learn that the District Hospital Kiphire had been functioning without medical superintendent (MS) for the past 1 and half year.
CWS stated that according to the sources one MS was transferred out from DHK in the month of March 2016 without any reliever and since then no MS had posted until March 2017. It stated that this MS was posted to DHK on promotion but the same officer has not been in station since without any leave or reason. His joining and charge has been made only through papers and not his physical presence, thereby CWS has questionioned the concern department as to why the remote part of the state like Kiphire has been neglected many a times.
CWS stated that non presence of HoD in a department like District Hospital has caused lots of inconvenience not only for the patient but also for all the staff. The CWS in the interest of the general public has requested the concern department to immediately appraise the matter to the concern officer to be stationed in his posting place or replace him with other officer who can give service to the citizen.
