Daltonganj, April 29: A two-member team comprising Dr Ashish Kumar Gupta and Dr Ajay Kumar Sood of the union ministry of health evaluated and assessed the health and wellness centre at Polpol which is right on NH 75 on Friday.
There are 86 health and wellness centres in Palamu.
The assessment of quality was done under the NQAS which is national quality assessment standards.
Civil Surgeon Dr Ashok Kumar, district programme manager Deepak Kumar Gupta, hospital manager Sunit Srivastav, Polpol community health officer Khushbu Kumari and others facilitated the assessment.
Later, speaking to the lagatar24. Com, the civil surgeon said, “This was our first evaluation and assessment of the health and wellness centre at Polpol this year.”
He said there are a couple of more health and wellness centres which are to be assessed and evaluated the same way like that of the Polpol health and wellness centre.
The Polpol health and wellness centre maintains good medical relation with the patients.
The civil surgeon said the visiting team interacted with the people who come here and none was any critical of the patient care.
However, he was candid when he said that the team noticed gap in the treatment and follow up with the patients.
The civil surgeon said, “I tried to explain to the visiting team that this health and wellness centre is not very far from the Medinirai medical college hospital in Daltonganj which is a higher centre and hence patients who come here at first prefer to have second opinion from the Daltonganj-based hospital and as such the gap between the first treatment and follow up looks big and wide.”
The visiting team advised the community health officer and others not to have any ampoule of oxytocin injection in open.
