The general public brought to the notice of the Minister various problems including that of non availability of doctors at Kola PHC in the night, as the Minister took out time to give a patient hearing to the grievances of general public at Kola PHC, after inspecting a site for construction of 'Endo Palana Punarvasathi Kendra' at Alankar, on Tuesday.
Responding to this, Mr Khader instructed the Taluk Health Officer to visit all the PHCs in the taluk and take stock of the situation existing there and bring to his notice the names of the doctors who are not performing their duty efficiently.
"If I am not given with the report with regard to the doctors who are guilty of dereliction of duty then the Taluk Health Officer will be held responsible," he said further directing the Taluk Health Officer to prepare the report after forming a Health Advisory Committee locally.
Mobile clinic for endo victims
The Minister said that the fund of Rs 25 lac that was being provided by the government for the functioning of Kola and Kokkada Endo Palana Kendras has been increased to Rs 50 lac.
Keeping in mind those victims who are not in a position to visit the centres, the government is contemplating to have 'mobile clinics' to extend medical care for them.
"The CM has earmarked adequate funds for the same in the budget," said Mr Khader adding that as far as relief to the endo victims is concerned an estimation of Rs 50 crore has been prepared and in this regard a sum of Rs 5 crore will be released to the department in the first phase on approval.
Mr Khader said that the government is also thinking of providing monthly pension to the parents of the endo victims so as to secure their life as well.
UTK visits endo victims
Mr Khader visited the residences of Puthu Monu and Shashank, two endo victims living at Suruli village of Alankaru. He promised the victims to extend government aides to them. The Minister also savoured tea and snacks prepared for him at the residence of Shashank, thereby bringing smiles on the faces of not just the family members but also the villagers who had gathered to see the Minister.
UTK on his way back from endo affected areas, took part in 'Ganeshothsava' celebrations that were going on at Ramakunja-Athur.
