Dual control of J&K government and Cantonment Board has badly hampered the smooth functioning of GB Pant Children Hospital, MLA Sonwar Muhammad Ashraf Mir said today.
The hospital is run under joint management of Army and J&K government’s Health and Medical Education Department since 2005 when a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the two.
Peoples Democratic Party leader and legislator from Sonwar constituency, Muhammad Ashraf Mir, who presided over a review meeting in the hospital today appealed Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti to resolve the difficulties faced by the hospital.
Mir released Rs 25 lakhs from his Constituency Development Fund to the hospital for renovation and purchase of equipments like radiant warmer and monitors and restoration of drinking water facilities. (CNS)
