Ghaziabad: The district administration has roped in the Indian Medical Association (IMA) to strengthen the medical facilities in the district. Under the initiative, a two-tier system has been put in place to ensure that patients do not face any kind of problem in the medical services and some 200 doctors have been identified who would work in their respective 31 identified hospitals.
District magistrate Ajay Shankar Pandey the chief medical officer, Dr NK Gupta, has been made the overall head of the two-tier system, even as each hospital will depute a nodal officer at its end who will coordinate with the health department. Surprise inspections will also be conducted periodically to see that the hospitals are following the set standards.
“In this action plan, 31 prominent private hospitals in the district have been selected. The nodal officer of each hospital will provide a report on numbers of patients who have availed the services and also record their feedback. The feedback will be entered in a register which will be evaluated by the DM from time to time. In case of any deficiency in the treatment of the person concerned, then the respective nodal officer will be asked to resolve the issue,” he said.
IMA president Dr VB Jindal said a training of medical staff has been done in this regard. “They have been told how to treat fever patients and what precautions they need to take while doing so. A meeting with the officials of the district administration had already taken in this regard. A webinar has also been planned by the IMA for this Sunday which would be attended by hospital representatives,” he added.
