Kanpur: Rats were sipping glucose, taking medicines on its own choice at the Rawatpur Urban PHC here. This disclosure came to light after the district magistrate's inspection of the primary health center on Thursday morning. He got the videography of the irregularities persisting and enquired the CMO of the poor condition.
When the DM Vijay Viswas Pant tried to know of the situation the staff failed to reply properly. Even the PHC Incharge Dr Anita was also not available, she came late by one hour. While taking a look at the attendance register he found absence of three ANMs.
The register was not being maintained at the OPD. There was mentioned no record. The medicines were lying to and fro in the store. The glucose bottles, more than half-a-dozen, were also devoid of the water as rats had gulped. The medicines were also tasted by the rats. Even the injection foils were damaged. The fridge was filled with diets. The bed was broken and dirty bedsheet was spread over. Were those things enough proofs to confirm poor arrangements of the primary health centers?
Perhaps it was because of such state of the health centers, the common poor man remains deprived of govt's medical facilities.
Taking action the DM directed adverse entry to ACMO and asked the incharge do you not understand your responsibily towards the patients coming at the center.
