RTI activists ST Yapang Lkr and Tiawapang Lkr under the RTI Initiative Nagaland, who visited Dr. Imkongliba Memorial District Hospital (IMDH) Mokokchung to assess the COVID-19 preparedness in the district, have urged the responsible authority to increase the number of lifesaving equipment in the hospital ahead of the imminent arrival of third wave.<\/p>\n
In a press release, the two RTI activists stated that there were only four ICU, four ventilators and 15 Oxymeters in the district hospital.<\/p>\n
The duo claimed that as per RTI disclosure, an amount of Rs 2, 55,080 was allocated to combat COVID-19 in the district, which they said was “totally an unfair amount of allocation to a district hospital”.<\/p>\n
The two RTI activists said that for the year 2018-2019 and 2019-2020, about Rs. 1,778 crore for various schemes and programmes was sanctioned for Nagaland by the ministry of health and family welfare.<\/p>\n
Further, the duo urged the government to allocate in a year an amount of Rs. 50 lakh to a district hospital, Rs.10 lakh to CHC, Rs.3 lakh to PHC and Rs. 1 lakh to community sub-centres. <\/p>\n
Claiming that there were other funds for hospital, the two activists further urged the government to permanently increase the number of ICU and ventilators in a district hospital to 10 each and five ICU and three ventilators in CHC.<\/p>\n
They claimed that as per the information received, there were huge discrepancies in contrast to the massive funds poured into Nagaland by the Centre. For the year 2018-2019 and 2019-2020, they claimed the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare sanctioned about Rs. 1,778 crores for Nagaland for various schemes and programmes.<\/p>\n
The duo informed that more RTI initiatives would be initiated to assess whether the funds were implemented properly or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
