CMO office Ramban refutes News Report
‘MO along with on duty staff
attended patient in time’
RAMBAN, AUGUST 21: The CMO office Ramban has strongly refuted the news
report claiming that no medical staff attended an elderly person at
Sub-District Hospital Banihal and “after half an hour since his arrival, the
patient was rushed to the casualty room where he was declared dead." This
statement is incorrect and misleading, Chief Medical Officer Ramban, Kamal Je
Zadoo said.
Issuing a rebuttal, the CMO stated “The hospital's CCTV footage has
revealed that the patient was attended by the on-duty staff (Pharmacist) along
with a Medical officer within one minute of his arrival at the hospital. These
details clearly contradict the timeline presented in the news report.”
“While we deeply sympathize with the family of the deceased, it is
also crucial to clarify certain aspects of the incident to ensure that accurate
information is conveyed to the public. We emphasize that the hospital staff
responded promptly and followed the necessary protocols to provide immediate
care to the patient. We urge the public and media to rely on verified
information and avoid spreading misinformation that could cause unnecessary
distress,” he added.
