17/04/2019

JAMMU, Apr 16: Balvin-der Singh RTI while addressing the Press Conference made some very shocking revelations, based on the information received under RTI, with regard to the Diet being given to the patients in various Govt Hospitals in Jammu Division.
MR Singh said that as per the information recived under RTI from SKIMS hospital is giving one Cup tea 2 bread Slice and one boiled Egg in the breakfast, Rice + Chicken+ Veg+saag five days a week in the Lunch, One Cup tea & two Brtead Slice in the evening tea and Rice, Chicken with curry +Veg (carrot+ Capasicum + French beans) five days a week in the dinner and are charging in an average RS.91. Per day per patient.
The Information received from Government Medical College Jammu shows that they are giving Dal Sabzi to the indoor patients @Rs.134, without evening tea, which is more than 45% higher than the rates of Non-veg diet being given by Sher I Kashmir Institute of Medical Science & 50% higher than the Veg Diet being given by Psychiatric Disease Hosp-ital Srinagar who is giving Veg Diet to the Indoor Patients @Rs 93.50. Various hospitals in Jammu like GMC, SMGS & Psychiatric they are giving 4 slice of bread with Vegitable in the breakfast and served it to the patients at 5.30 AM, 5 Chapatis, One Rice Plate, Dal & Vegitable in the Lunch and Mix Dal, Paneer Curry, Rice & 4 Chapatis twice a week in the dinner and Nutri curry once a week in the dinner. No evening tea is given to the indoor patients in the Jammu Govt Hospitals. Patients in the hospitals needs high caleroried energy suppliments and nutitients so that they could recover from the illness at the earliest, but indoor patients in Jammu Hospitals are being given sub statndard diet without adhering to the terms and conditions laid down in the Tender Documents , which specify the quantity of uncooked rice 60gms, Vegitable Uncooked 75 gms, Dal uncooked 50 gms and Paneer uncooked 50 gms. Singh Strongly criticised the Hospital Management especially the MS of each hospital for not proper monitoring or surprise checking of the diet.
It is clearly mentioned in the Contract that the contractor will distribute "DIET" to the in-patients from "BED TO BED" basis but the same is not being done the distribution was made in the Verandah with the result the patients who don't have any attendent with him some times couldnt get diet because of inabitly to move due to his sickness.
