RNN - News Update

The Ultrasound (USG) section at Pattan Hospital has remained locked, causing inconvenience to patients who are now compelled to undergo ultrasound examinations at private diagnostic centres.

When Gulistan News raised the issue with the Block Medical Officer (BMO) Pattan, she stated that the doctors responsible for conducting USG services are currently unavailable. According to her, one doctor has proceeded on Hajj pilgrimage, while another has been deputed for Amarnath Yatra duty.

The closure of the USG section has sparked concern among local residents and patients, who questioned why both doctors were deputed simultaneously without arranging any alternative medical staff to ensure uninterrupted services.

Patients expressed disappointment over the lack of essential diagnostic facilities at the hospital and urged the health authorities to make immediate alternative arrangements so that the public does not have to bear additional expenses at private clinics.

Locals have appealed to the concerned authorities to restore USG services at the earliest and ensure that such disruptions do not affect patient care in the future.
