INSPECTION REPORTOF CIVIL HOSPITAL MOHALI

 

On 14-5-09, at about 4.15 P.M., I inspected Civil Hospital, Phase 6,  Mohali with prior intimation to Chairperson of Punjab State Human Rights Commission and my observations are as follow:-

Firstly, I visited the emergency ward where three patients were taking treatment. Thereafter, I visited male ward and female ward. There were 24 beds female ward and in male ward, there were 30 beds. Occupancy in male ward were only 14 patients. The beds were also vacant in female ward.  

The following staff was present there.

    Nursing staff in male ward                    : 1

    Nursing staff in female ward                  : 1

    In emergency ward nursing staff           : 1

    Security Guard                                    : 1

    Sweeper                                            : 1

Dr. Suman Bali was on duty and Dr. Kawaljit Singh Sandha, M.D., Pathologist was also present there and both the doctors informed that other doctors and technicians are available on call. The floors and toilets were clean and cleaning process was also going on at the time of my visit. I enquired from the patients about the behavior of staff and treatment. No body raised any complaint against any staff of the hospital. As per information gathered from the hospital, the serious cases are generally get treatment from P.G.I. as P.G.I. is very near. The work was satisfactory.

My suggestion is that if possible, Health Department of Punjab by consulting with P.G.I. can utilize the services of doctors of P.G.I. and un-occupied beds can be provided to patients getting treatment in P.G.I. to reduce the pressure. During the visit, my P.A. Mr. Parmjeet Singh was with me.
