CM Assam directs DCs to ensure management of critical Covid patients even at late night
1 ADC in each district to be entrusted the responsibility of vaccine centers: Chief Minister
May 16: Often it was reported that many a times, Covid-19 patients who went to hospitals for admission at odd hours, particularly at late night had to face problems. Often, such patients were denied admission at late night by the staff citing multifarious problems in doing so. In some other cases, late night management of critical Covid patients assumed great difficulties. To overcome such difficulties, Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma directed the Deputy Commissioners of the districts “to regularly visit District Hospitals from today and ensure efficient odd hour management of critical Covid patients even late in the night.”
The issue of complaints regarding mismanagement in many vaccination centres also came up for discussion during the video conferencing. In this connection, the Chief Minister said, “I asked to entrust one ADC in each district with responsibility of vaccine centers.”
