Chatra: District administration is working out a plan to overhaul the functioning of Sadar hospital in Chatra, which recently came under fire from the state health minister for several lapses.
People have accused middlemen at the hospital resulting into incidents of fleecing.
While conducting inspection of the hospital premises on Tuesday night, health minister Irfan Ansari had to cover his nose due to bad smell at the campus. He was also visibly miffed when he learnt that the hospital always refers patients to other centres.
Talking to TOI on Thursday, Chatra sub-divisional officer Jahur Alam admitted several flaws at the hospital.
He said, "The district administration is committed to improve the condition."
"I, along with Simaria sub-divisional officer Sunny Raj, are assessing the situation to make positive changes in the coming days. Our focus is on cleanliness as well as boosting the morale of the employees and doctors. So far, through our visits, we came to know about the manpower crunch, from doctors to paramedical staff. We don't have the power to recruit, but what I know is that we have to motivate the existing team to give their best in this situation," he said.
Alam said that their focus is to bring the system of the hospital on track. "We are trying to ensure that all kinds of pathological tests are done here, there should be a dress code for paramedical staff, and the duty roster should be followed," he added.

Experts advise parents to be extra vigilant on children's online activities
Prayagraj: With the rise of dangerous and sensational content on social media platforms, the experts caution parents to be extra vigilant about what their children watch online. Imitation of risky stunts and 'tricks' can lead to serious, even life-threatening, consequences as was recently witnessed in a village of Kunda tehsil in Pratapgarh, where an 11-year-old boy fell unconscious after a teenager tried to mimic a YouTube stunt. The incident occurred during a wedding gathering when children were playing inside a house. A teenager, in a bid to impress his friends, pressed the carotid arteries, the major blood vessels supplying blood to the brain, on the neck of a 11-year-old boy. Within seconds, the boy collapsed. Initially assumed to be fainting, the situation turned critical when the boy failed to regain consciousness. Alarmed by his deteriorating condition, his family rushed him to a neurosurgeon in Prayagraj. Dr Prakash Khaitan, who treated the boy , said, "The boy was brought to hospital last week unconscious and having seizures. On enquiring about the case history, his family members revealed that while playing, a teenager imitating a social media trick, pressed the two carotid nerves below the ear lobes, blocking blood supply to the brain after which the boy fell unconscious. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Urologists: What 90% Of Men With ED Don't Know (Start Doing This) health-paradise Learn More Undo " According to Dr Khaitan, MRI results confirmed that the compression of the carotid arteries disrupted oxygen supply to the boy's brain, triggering seizures and temporary weakness in his limbs. "After five days of treatment, the child has now started walking.." The boy's father recalled the harrowing moment. "When we went inside the room, my son was unconscious and was having seizures. He was not able to drink water or stand on his legs." Psychiatrist Dr Rakesh Paswan of Colvin Hospital added that a growing number of children are being exposed to violent and hazardous online games. He urged parents to supervise mobile usage closely until children are at least 18 years old and to encourage outdoor activities. "We appeal to the parents to encourage outdoor activities of their wards to ensure a healthier lifestyle," said Dr Paswan. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .
