Kalambani Upazila Hospital on the Mumbai-Goa highway is mired in various problems. On the one hand, patients are being afforded due to vacancies in the hospital, on the other hand, the two X-ray machines in the hospital have been closed for a month, so the patients are suffering. Patients have to bear a financial burden of Rs 600 for an x-ray for urgent diagnosis. As time and money are being spent in this, patients have come to Metakutis. The posts of medical officers and other staff are still vacant in Kalambani Upazila Hospital. Due to vacancies, Kalambani Upazila Hospital itself has fallen ill, causing inconvenience to the patients coming for treatment from Panchkroshi.www.konkantoday.com
