Today while addressing a press conference RTI Activist Balvinder Singh urged upon Governor Satya Pal Malik to kindly Close all the 15 Urban health Centres / evening Clinics established in Jammu City, some years ago, as the brain child of some of the politicians and bureaucrats for absorbing their kith and kin well within the city.
Singh said that he inspected some of these UHC’s/evening Clincs, Gujjar Nagar, UHC Digiana, UHC Shastri Nagar, UHC Nanak Nagar, under RTI, during evening and UHC Janipur in the morning and found that patients with minor problem like headache, lower back pain, for dressing, for BP check comes there.
Every UHC is heaving two or three M.O and ten to twelve other staff and government is unnecessary spending lacs of rupees for no use. Singh said Jammu City needs not these UHC’s and evening Clincs as there exists SMGS Hospital, Govt. Hospital Gandhi Nagar, Govt. Hospital Sarwal, Government Medical College and Hospital & Super Speciality Hospital so there is no need of these 15 Urban Health centres/Evening Clinics.
