GMC, DHS will be audited for shortcomings

Health Minister Vishwajit Rane on Saturday mulled a medical audit at the Goa Medical College and the Directorate of Health Services even as he promised to put 108 ambulance service back on the rail by getting the government approve the revised pattern of assistance for the service provider.

MARGAO: 
“There’s a need for a medical audit at both the GMC and the DHS to find out the availability of medicines and other facilities. We will engage a reputed agency to conduct the medical audit, which will help the government to have a better insight into the shortcomings,” Rane told the media.  
The Health Minster said that he has already made a case for the approval of the revised pattern of assistance for the 108 ambulance provider. “I can promise the people of Goa that the  
108 ambulance should be back on track within two months. The revised pattern of assistance which is required to meet the expenses of the service provider has not been approved since the last six years. I have discussed the situation with the Chief Minister, Manohar Parrikar, who has asked me to put up the file,” Rane said.  
The health minister exuded confidence that the health sector will be back on the rails under the  leadership of Chief Minister, Manohar Parrikar, saying the CM has promised him all help and assistance to streamline the health services.
