Non availability of stretcher service of Air India in Agartala sector has prevented critical patients' movement from Agartala to other parts of the country for treatment for the last two weeks. Official sources here today said as many as 22 patients, including three in critical stage, have been referred from the Agartala Government Medical College (AGMC) and Tripura Medical College (TMC) in the last two weeks.
According to report, the AGMC authority has now stopped referring patients outside even if it is essential considering the crisis of air tickets. A good number of referred cases have been pending before the medical board of AGMC. The health facilities even for basic treatment are not reliable and sufficient in Tripura. As a result, every month more than 200 people have been going outside for availing treatment.
