Subhro Maitra Malda February 9: Now minister feels the heat of the govt hospital. Minister of State PHE, Anarul Hoque could not get the treatment at hospital; rather he had to get treatment from a doctor of Railway hospital, and that too at the latter's residence.
The incident took place at Malda last night when Minister felt acute toothache before catching Kolkata bound Darjeeling Mail from Malda. The District Magistrate of Malda Sridhar Ghosh as well as that of North Dinajpur, Sukumar Bhattacharya who too was at Malda, accompanied the Minister to District Hospital. But to their dismay, no dentist was available at that time in the hospital. Even no doctor could be called. Only one surgeon offered treatment. But the patient could not rely on him; rather minister was taken to the residence of Dr S Sinha, a dentist, attached to Railway Hospital. Hoque was treated finally there.
District Magistrate Sridhar Ghosh reacted sharply today. "If a Minister is not getting proper treatment at hospital what can the common people expect from there?" It is learnt that DM asked a clarification from Chief Medical Officer of Health (CMOH).
CMOH Dr Srikanta Roy, however, justified himself. "We have to run the hospital with the inadequate number of doctors. If I get the letter from DM, I'll certainly want to know the fact from Superintendent of the hospital."
