Top Bollywood singer says no doctor in a village hosp for 13 years | Dehradun News
The doctors’ room has been locked since 2008, said Bollywood singer Jubin Nautiyal, who visited Nagthat on Sunday in hopes of organizing a Covid-19 testing campaign. He grew up in Jaunsar Bawar. The villagers told me that they had been waiting for a doctor for over a decade. The building is big enough to run a small hospital, but I couldn’t find any staff and half of the rooms were locked. The ones that were open had broken furniture lying around.
It hasn’t always been that way. The hospital was built in 1999 with funds from the Canadian Red Cross Society. It had a doctor and a few pharmacists until 2008, said Dr MS Ansari, general secretary of the Indian Red Cross (Uttarakhand). Health facilities were scarce, even worse in remote areas like Jaunsar Bawar. So a hospital should be in the thousands. When operational, it would meet the medical needs of around 15,000 people in 50 villages, said Jaipal Singh, gram pradhan of Nagthat.
Then, in 2008, the doctor who served at the hospital retired and a replacement was never hired. The same has happened with other members of the medical staff. The new ones were never named. Now there are a few midwives, peons and a driver on the payroll. Their salaries continue to be paid by the Canadian Red Cross Society, said Dr Ansari. When the first wave of Covid-19 hit, in March, I wrote to the director general (health) to deploy a doctor here since the Red Cross is already paying for the maintenance of the building. But I never got an answer.
A Uttarakhand Red Cross official added that their Delhi counterparts have been repeatedly reminded about the condition of the hospital, but no one has done anything about it.
Over the years, access to health care is something that has crossed off its list. When Nautiyal arrived for testing, the reluctance he saw was astonishing. There are about 4,000 people in the village. Only 12 agreed to be tested, he said. In the early days of the first wave, those who tested positive would be taken to solitary confinement. They were afraid of it. They were never told that the protocol had changed. This is how cut off they are. They are not comfortable with the test and do not want to be vaccinated. If there had been a functioning hospital here, they would have access to a doctor and more faith. If they can’t run it, I will.
