It is reprehensible on the part of Union Ayush Minister Shripad Naik, despite being from Ribandar to oppose the much needed medical facilities from being restored by the Government at our famed Old Ribandar Hospital. Naik for reasons best known to him has been insisting on setting up a needless Ayush centre.
By opposing health care facilities at the Old Ribandar Hospital Naik has done great injustice to the patients especially the less privileged who depend only on government medical care.
Every government should protect, provide for and invest in its people. The raging pandemic vividly, cruelly and tragically exposed the medical shortcomings of the government in Goa and nationally.
It defined and determined beyond reasonable doubt that the peoples’ demand and number one priority is for better and more state of the art medical facilities easily accessible to all the people.
This is exactly what the restoration of state of the art medical facilities at the Old Ribandar Hospital would have provided as a great relief to all.
