Health Secretary to Inspect MGM Hospital Amid Medicine Shortage Crisis

Principal Secretary’s Visit Follows August Inspection That Led to Superintendent’s Suspension

Key Points:

  • Principal Secretary Ajay Singh schedules crucial inspection of MGM Hospital on December 12
  • Anti-rabies injection shortage affects over 40 daily OPD patients
  • Hospital conducts departmental review ahead of high-level inspection visit

JAMSHEDPUR – Principal Secretary Ajay Singh will inspect MGM Medical College and Hospital following earlier management issues.

The inspection comes amid serious concerns at the hospital. The Principal Secretary had visited in August.

His previous inspection led to major administrative changes. Dr. Ravindra Kumar was suspended from the Superintendent post.

Department heads held an urgent meeting on Tuesday. They reviewed preparations for the upcoming visit.

“We are taking all necessary steps to address existing issues,” said a hospital insider.

Critical Medicine Shortage

The hospital faces an acute shortage of anti-rabies injections. This has severely impacted patient care.

Over 40 patients need these injections daily. Many cannot afford private treatment options.

Previous Actions and Current Preparations

The management conducted a thorough departmental review. Staff worked late to ensure compliance with standards.

“Getting the required medicines is our top priority,” noted a reliable source.

The hospital’s OPD services remain affected. Poor patients face the biggest challenge.

Moreover, doctors worry about potential health complications. The situation needs immediate intervention.
