He stressed the importance of not compromising on the availability of medicines in all government hospitals. “Modern treatment facilities are already made available at Sassoon General Hospital and the common patients must be given benefits of it. If there is any negligence found in providing the modern treatment to the patients, strict action will be taken” he said.
Pawar urged to maintain cleanliness in the hospital premises. Efforts should be made to expedite the registration of Ayushman cards in urban areas and the district should strive to be the first in the state in this regard. In rural areas, medical officers should be present at health centers. He also asked the officials to fill the vacancies at the government hospitals for Grade-4 posts by external sources without any further delay.
