Jammu : TDD,An important meeting was conducted by the members of Shiv Sena Hindustan at Marhol village in the presence of Jammu and Kashmir President Pt Rajesh Kesri over lack of facilities in Arnia hospital. It came to fore that in Arnia Block, there are nearly 100 villages and only hospital in Arnia Block lacks facilities to catre these villages patients when hospital has only four patient rooms. Highlighting challenges, Kesri said that this hospital lacks specialized departments and equipment, making it difficult for patients to receive timely and appropriate care. Outdated or insufficient infrastructure, such as old buildings, inadequate lighting, and insufficient sanitation facilities, can compromise patient care and safety. The hospital struggles to attract and retain medical professionals, leading to staffing shortages and increased workload for remaining staff and also lacks advanced diagnostic equipment, such as MRI or CT scanners, making it difficult to accurately diagnose and treat patients besides no emergency services, including ambulance services, emergency rooms and trauma care, added Kesri.
Suggesting possible solutions, Kesri said Government can provide funding and support to upgrade infrastructure, purchase new equipment and recruit medical staff. Educating the community about available services and promoting healthy lifestyles can help reduce the burden on rural hospitals. Establishing mobile health clinics can provide essential services, including vaccinations, health screenings, and basic medical care, to remote areas. Implementing programs to train and retain healthcare professionals in rural areas can help address staffing shortages, said Kesri. These are just a few potential solutions to address the lack of facilities in the main hospital in Arnia Block. A comprehensive approach that involves government support, community engagement, and innovative solutions can help improve access to quality healthcare in rural areas, remarked Kesri.
