Make Swami Rama Cancer Hospital fully functional, direction Uttarakhand HC
Uttarakhand: The Uttarakhand High Court today asked the state government to make the Swami Rama Cancer Hospital and Research Institute in Haldwani fully functional within three months.
Hearing a PIL highlighting the lack of basic facilities at most of the hospitals in Haldwani, a bench of justices Rajiv Sharma and Lokpal Singh observed that the institution was plagued by absenteeism and lack of proper equipment.
Poor patients are not getting specialised treatment or medicines, posts are lying vacant, there is an increasing tendency among doctors to refer patients to other hospitals and the hospital itself is largely under-equipped, the division bench said.
Taking note of this, the court directed the state to make the Swami Rama Cancer Hospital & Research Institute fully functional within three months by creating required posts and recruiting medical practitioners to them.
