He reviewed the functioning of various hospital units and noted that essential machinery, diagnostic equipment, laboratory facilities and other medical infrastructure were available and operational.
The SDM interacted with the medical staff and directed them to ensure that all diagnostic tests and investigations that can be conducted at the hospital are carried out within the hospital premises, so that patients are not put to inconvenience.
He issued strict instructions to ensure that medicines available in the hospital stock are provided to patients free of cost as per their entitlement, and that no patient is compelled to purchase medicines from private pharmacies when the same are available in the hospital.
