Imphal, Aug 5:
The inability to provide proper medical facilities to non-COVID patients at hospital across the state has cause serious concern to students’ bodies of the state.
A joint press statement of the AMSU, ATSUM , ANSAMKSO-GHQ, MSF, DESA KSA, SUK and AIIMS said that Covid-19 pandemic is at the verge of spreading at Community level . At least 7 have died of the COVID-19 pandemic. At this juncture as both the government and private hospitals have not allowed to admit non COVID patients, there are possibilities of unwanted incident at different sections.
Non acceptance of non-COVID patients but emergency one like injury by accident, delivery case, cardiac arrest etc and those from containment area without testing the COVID-19 is very unfortunate, the students’ bodies said.
The statement said that serious patients from interior parts of the state are facing extreme difficulties in reaching to the hospitals for treatment. There were incident that a woman died while delivery as she could not taken to the hospital. These types of incident should not be repeated in future, the statement said.
The student bodies demanded a proper and effective policy to ensure that other patients (non-Covid) too are treated fairly in hospital. On the other hand, the government should take extra care for those frontliners working to prevent the spread of the virus, the statement added.
