MRI Machine in long wait for installation

We have, on umpteen occasions, highlighted the mismanagement in Government Medical College and Hospital, Jammu with intent only to ensure that corrective measures were taken looking to the sensitivities attached to this institution being the premier Government health centre in Jammu. Should the general public continue to suffer due to one or the other reason emanating out of the incompetence of the management of this hospital is an important question. The issue of 3 Tesla Up-graded MRI Machine costing crores of Rupees is awaiting its installation in the Medical College for the last three months while public in its absence, are suffering and even incurring expenses for getting tests etc conducted from other alternative private sources as the said Hospital is catering to the patients on long waiting basis with inadequate infrastructure of the lone 1.5 Tesla machine.
While an upgraded version of the machine known as 3Tesla Machine is in place in as many as three numbers in Kashmir, there is none in Jammu and the lone one procured after a lot of persuasion and complaints from the public, is ”rotting” for three months as it is not installed. We would, therefore, request the administration to find out the causes of this inordinate delay and have the machine installed at an early date.
