Jagran correspondent, East Delhi. Patients undergoing treatment at the Institute of Human Behavior and Allied Sciences (IHBAS) located in Dilshad Garden in Delhi are not able to get the facility of MRI and CT scan due to the machine breaking down for a long time.
The hospital management says that the approval for the new machine has been received, but the machine has not reached the hospital.
CT scan machine broke down
About two thousand patients come to the OPD in Ihbas every day, out of which 70-80 patients are advised to undergo CT scan. The CT scan machine used in emergency has been lying broken for several months and despite complaints, it has not been repaired yet.
MRI facility not available
For this reason, patients are being sent to Rajiv Gandhi Super Specialty Hospital for treatment, where they are given only films of the scan and MRI facility is not available. Patients say that in critical condition, it becomes difficult to take them to another hospital, which leads to delay in treatment.
At the same time, the hospital administration has assured that in the coming few days, the facility of MRI and CT scan will be started for the patients.
People told that they had come to the hospital to see the patient. The doctor has prescribed for CT scan. You will have to spend money and get your CT scan done from outside. - Subhash, resident of Shahdara
Everything else is fine in the hospital but one has to wander here and there to get MRI done. There was a long queue till Rajiv Gandhi went to the hospital. - Sunil, resident of Anand Vihar
