AGARTALA, Sep 6 (TIWN): Tripura’s dilapidating healthcare causing massive deaths across Statewide as basic healthcare facilities donot exist in hospitals statewide under Manik Sarkar’s corrupt administration. Whether its Kailashahar or Udaipur or Agartala, patients left with the first option to sell properties to mobilize money for out-of-state treatment or face the impending death in State Govt run Hospitals. Tripura is the only State in country where every year few hundred people die out of Malaria which was eradicated long back across India. Either in the matter of infrastructure or CPI-M brigade Doctors negligence, patients suffering in Govt. hospitals never end in Tripura. 'Lecture Master' CM often claims that Tripura govt. hospitals are not running commercially, so all the doctors and nurses would dedicatedly deliver their services to the patients in the hospital, but after all those lectures, the problem remains same and from Health Minister to Chief Minister everyone has turned their blind eyes into these problems.Chief Minister manages ample time to visit cultural programmes, various club camps, even attending 'Sani Puja' to 'Quiz Competitions' but never find time to tour State’s Hospitals.

Carelessness of doctors and staffs in govt. hospitals risks lives under Manik Sarkar's golden rule everyday. 

But at a glance it will be cleared that from rural Tripura to Agartala city everywhere hospitals are suffering due to lack of proper infrastructure as well as due to lack of doctor’s special concentration towards the patients. Allegations are coming against Tripura’s most  renowned hospital GB hospital for doctors’ negligence role over there. Patients on Monday alleged that instead of so many complaints no official visits there to observe the condition of the hospital. Especially the lab of blood test is in deplorable condition.

Patients also alleged that, although patients are standing in long queue in empty stomach, the workers have no concern for this. They often take break to have tea or tiffin by leaving the patients in a long row.Such kind of problem prevails not only at GB Hospital, but also in other hospitals.

Lack of beds, doctors, drinking water scarcity all these are common issues in govt run hospitals.Moreover power disruption at GB and AGMC are very frequents problems.
Nationally,  lack of Doctors also causing problems in Healthcare sector in  NorthEast.

"Six states, which represent 31 per cent of India's population, have 58 per cent MBBS seats; on the other hand, eight states, which comprise 46 per cent of India's population, have only 21 per cent MBBS seats," said an unnamed expert who deposed before the parliamentary committee.

These medical-education imbalances reflect larger public-healthcare issues. In general, poverty is correlated with the lack of healthcare. For instance, among states with the highest proportion of undernourished children, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh have the worst infrastructure for institutional deliveries.

India's poorer states have health indicators that are worse than many nations poorer than them, and India's healthcare spending is the lowest among BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) nations, as are its health indicators.

Every year, 55,000 doctors complete their MBBS and 25,000 post-graduation nationwide, said another unnamed expert. At this rate of growth, he told the committee, India should have a doctor (allopathic) for every 1,250 people for a population of 1.3 billion by 2020, and one for every 1,075 by 2022 (population: 1.36 billion).

"However, the committee has been informed… that doctors cannot be produced overnight, and if we add 100 medical colleges every year for the next five years, only by the year 2029 will the country have adequate number of doctors," the second expert said.

The shortage of doctors, the report said, is despite the increase in medical colleges, from 23 in 1947 to 398 at the end of 2014. India, the report noted, has more medical colleges than any country, and 49,930 admissions were available in 2014.

"An expert who appeared before the committee submitted that India was very very short of doctors and to meet this shortfall, India needs to have not four hundred, but one thousand medical colleges," the report said.

The central government has approved 22 medical colleges with 1,765 seats in the last two years, according to an e-book published by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

The NITI Aayog, the government's think-tank, has prepared the draft National Education Commission Bill, 2016, to reassess India's healthcare and medical-education infrastructure.

While 11 new All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) have been added with 1,100 seats, the government has proposed an additional 4,700 MBBS seats.

As many as 5,540 MBBS seats and 1,004 PG seats have been added in the last two academic sessions, the e-book said.

Medical-education shortages manifest themselves in under-staffed public-health services nationwide: There is an 83 per cent shortage of specialist medical professionals in community health centres (CHCs), as IndiaSpend reported in September 2015.

Public-health centres across India's rural areas -- 25,308 in 29 states and seven union territories -- are short of more than 3,000 doctors, the scarcity rising 200 per cent (or tripling) over 10 years, IndiaSpend reported in February 2016.

The committee was, thus, sceptical of the government's claims of the doctor-population ratio.

"Given the fact that the Indian Medical Register is not a live database and contains names of doctors who may have passed away or retired from active practice, by now, as well as those with a permanent address outside India and that there is no mechanism in place for filtering out such cases, the Committee is highly sceptical of the ministry's claim of having one doctor per 1,674 population," the parliamentary report said. "In view of the above, the Committee feels that the total universe of doctors in India is much smaller than the official figure, and we may have one doctor per 2,000 population, if not more." 

Tripura’s Primary heathcentres are for the name-sake. In Maximum primary health centres, doctor’s absence is a very common issue, due to which rural people are the most sufferers. So, in overall view Tripura Health Centres are badly suffering due to various infrastructural and other such issues.
