KATHUA, June 21: The people of Bani tehsil of district Kathua expressed serious concern over the lack of doctors and paramedical staff in Sub District Hospital (SDH) Bani. Patients have been forced to shift to GMC Jammu, which is about 235 km from Bani, said the residents.
People said that in this modern era, where the Government is making tall claims of providing basic facilities to people, SDH Bani lacks staff. They said that non-availability of medical facilities in remote areas is cause of concern especially when present Government at Centre has given priority to development of far flung and backward regions.
Mudasar Ali Bani a social activist from the area said that SDH Bani has now become a referral hospital as there is neither any specialist doctor nor adequate equipment for testing and treatment due to which the people of tehsil Bani are facing hardships.
Ali has appealed to Lt Governor, Jammu and Kashmir, Manoj Sinha, Director Health Services and District Development Commissioner, Kathua to intervene in the matter and solve the problems of the people
