SANTIRBAZAR, Feb 28 (TIWN): Santirbazar District Hospital under South district is running in deplorable condition .Patients are rarely found as far as Belonia Referral Hospital is concerned.

 Belonia referral hospital is having 250 patients daily enrollment. More over District Hospital run by only one doctor and hence providing unsatisfactory service to the people.

The patients coming from far long   places were deprived of minimum health service in the Santirbazar District Hospital. There is only one doctor who attends the patients. As a consequence, the patients have to rush to Gomati District Hospital for health service. Resentment brewed among the patients in the hospital.

Moreover doctors are also facing lot of problems. One year already gone by after the inauguration of sub division hospital, yet people of the area have not received satisfactory service from the hospital. The administration is also sleeping and also initiative for better medical service in the district hospital for the welfare of patients.

Another wrong decision by CM as CM ordered to convert rural hospital into district hospital. But the fact is, Santirbazar rural hospital has no basic infrastructure, rather Belonia referral hospital has good infrastructure at present. Everything  is available in the town including transport communication , electricity,drinking water, education etc. 

The common people of Belonia thought Belonia Referral Hospital  would be the District Hospital .

Moreover Chief Medical Officer has also been appointed here . Section of people belive that for creating Santirbazar District Hospital is due to  geographical location of the hospital as it is near the National Highway 44.

According to source the average number of patients in Belonia Referral Hospital is about 200, sometimes it crosses 250.

Belonia Hospital is having Infrastructure for modern medical service including blood bank, operation theatre, cesarean system, ICU etc.Moreover sufficient staff quarters are also available here. Santirbazar,Baikhora,Jolaibari,Sabroom are also not far from Belonia either.  

Road communication with rural areas with belonia  are also satisfactory and most of the road is under PMGSY schame. All kinds of vehicles and petrol pumps here .

Plenty of medical shops are available with life saving drugs infront of the Belonia referral  hospital.

But Chief Minister Manik Sarkar decided to convert Santirbazar rural hospital as District Hospital rather than Belonia referral hospital
