Shortage of Radiographers at Karnal Government hospitals
Karnal: The Karnal Civil hospital has been facing a shortage of radiographers and there are vacancies left at the hospital. Patients are complaining about the current situation as they are not able to get X-ray done at the hospital.
Nearly 13 radiographer post are available out of 17 in the district including all the Community Health Centres. There are six radiographer posts sanctioned at the Karnal Civil Hospital, four of which have been vacant for several months.
According to an official, people living in rural areas do not have access to radiographers to get X-rays or CT scans. As a result, they are forced to visit the Civil Hospital and have to wait in queue to get the tests done.
