Ensure sufficient medicine stock for snake and dog bites, Mandya ZP CEO instructs PHCs
Mandya Zilla Panchayat Chief Executive Officer K.R. Nandini has asked Primary Health Centres (PHCs) to ensure availability of sufficient stock of medicines for snake and dog bites. During a surprise visit to the PHC at Chandagalu village in Mandya taluk on Friday, Ms. Nandini inspected the medicines available at the hospital used for treating snake and dog bites, and sought details regarding their availability and expiry dates. If timely treatment is provided at the PHC itself, referring the patients to urban hospitals can be avoided, she pointed out. During her visit to the PHC, Ms. Nandini reviewed attendance of the staff, records related to in-patients and out-patients, hospital cleanliness, waste management, and documentation related to Ayushman Bharat-Arogya Karnataka scheme. She also spoke to the Asha works present at the hospital and advised them to visit houses in their jurisdiction, and spread awareness about dengue and malaria fever. Ms. Nandini emphasised the need to encourage pregnant women to undergo regular check-ups and ensure timely vaccinations for the children. Meanwhile, medical officer at the PHC Hemanth Raj pointed out that a new building for the PHC had been sanctioned as the current building had become old. As the land on which the present PHC stands was under a legal dispute, an alternate site had been approved for the construction of the PHC, he added. Panchayat Development Officer Vidya and elected Gram Panchayat members of Chandagalu Gram Panchayat were also present on the occasion.
