Having carried out an inspection in all government healthcare facilities across the district, Health Minister Veena George has promised steps to augment the treatment facilities and infrastructure in government hospitals.
Addressing a meeting after the inspection, the Minister said new dialysis units would soon be established in Kanjirapally and Changanassery general hospitals while the operation of the dialysis units in Kottayam and Pala General Hospitals would be expanded from two shifts to three. The staff required for the same would be appointed through the Hospital Development Committees concerned.
“The works of a new building at Kottayam district general hospital will commence immediately and will be completed in time. The E-Health system will be implemented in all taluk, district, and general hospitals. Steps will be taken to install solar power systems everywhere,” she added, besides promising steps to fill the vacancy of superintendent post in the Pala taluk hospital.
