JAMMU, Sept 04: The
intern paramedicos of various private nursing institutions have virtually
captured the Government Hospital Gandhi Nagar. The interns are so excess in
number that patient care is being affected as the paramedicos already deployed
in the hospital were enjoying holidays. However, there were hospitals in
peripheries which lack the necessary strength of paramedicos.
According to sources, the situation is so bad that sometimes even the doctor on duty hands over the patient care to the intern paramedicos. With this, the hospital administration is completely ignoring the directions of administration that issued an order that trainees shall be accommodated in shifts to avoid any problem to patients as well as doctors.
Due to chaos of intern paramedicos the patient care was suffering badly but the administration was silently watching the drama.
On the condition of anonymity, a doctor said "Many of the hospitals are suffering from lack of paramedical, the services of intern paramedicos can be utilized in those hospitals but instead all the interns are being adjusted in just one hospital creates nuisance in the smooth functioning the system of the hospital."
He further said that the administration should think about this and shift some of the paramedical staff to some tehsil and district hospitals so as to make up the shortage.
“The hospital administration is taking handsome amount from the college to provide internships to their students that's they are not bothered about the mess” an insider disclosed.
When contacted, Director Health Services, Jammu Dr Madhu Khullar said, "Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) and Shri Maharaja Gulab Singh (SMGS) Hospital didn’t allow paramedical students from the private paramedical colleges for internship."
Some of the interns have been shifted to other health institutions but Gandhi Nagar hospital has the sizeable number, she added.
