Demanding better medical facilities and specialist doctors, activists from the Asomiya Yuva Manch (AYM) staged a protest on Saturday in front of Lakhimpur Medical College and Hospital (LMCH). The protesters carried banners and shouted slogans against the Assam government, blaming it for failing to improve the hospital's condition and its medical infrastructure.
According to AYM General Secretary Anupam Saikia, LMCH, which opened its doors to medical aspirants, doctors and the public in 2022 lacks specialists in critical areas like neurology, cardiology, neurosurgery, urology, and nephrology. He also pointed out that the hospital does not have enough CT scan machines, forcing patients to travel long distances to Assam Medical College in Dibrugarh or Gauhati Medical College for treatment.
