Union Minister of State for Education and Development of North Eastern Region Dr. Sukanta Majumdar has urged the Chief Medical Officer of Health (CMOH), Dakshin Dinajpur, to take steps for the early operationalisation of a 10-bed hospital at Badalpur under Banshihari block.
In a letter dated August 11, Dr. Sukanta Majumdar said he was forwarding a representation from Debabrata Majumder, district general secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Dakshin Dinajpur committee, regarding the non-operational status of the hospital.
According to the representation cited in the letter, the facility has not yet become fully functional despite the healthcare needs of residents of Badalpur, Banshihari and adjoining rural areas. Economically weaker sections of the population, in particular, are facing difficulties in accessing timely and adequate medical services, the letter said.
Dr. Majumdar requested the CMOH to examine the present status of the hospital and initiate necessary measures for its early operationalisation. He suggested deployment of doctors, nursing and paramedical personnel, besides ensuring the availability of essential medical equipment, medicines and other required infrastructure.
“The facility may start serving the people at the earliest,” Dr. Majumdar said in the communication.He also sought an action-taken report from the CMOH’s office. The letter was addressed to the Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dakshin Dinajpur district, Government of West Bengal.
