The teachers urged the government to begin the super-specialty departments without any delay, observing that these departments including general medicine, orthopaedics, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, and the cancer care centre have not been performing to their full extent and efficiency due to the shortage of supporting departments.
Due to the non-functioning of these departments, the patients requiring treatment in neurosurgery, cardiothoracic surgery, medical and surgical gastroenterology, and paediatric surgery were subsequently referred to the medical colleges in Kottayam and Thrissur or to nearby private institutions, said the memorandum.
