INDORE: The 20-bedded Intensive Care unit (ICU) of PC Sethi Hospital- the biggest maternal care facility of the health department remained shut for a month because of lack of staffers and maintenance.
The officials blamed it on non-functioning air conditioner (AC) and lack of specialised doctors managing ICU. Superintendent PC Sethi Hospital Dr Nikhil Oza confirming it said, “The ICU remained shut for most of last month (April) because of non-functioning of AC as the unit couldn’t be operated without it.”
“Around 4 PG contractual doctors posted by National Health Mission left the job because of multiple reasons including selection for higher studies, jobs and others”, said Dr Oza.
