WOES OF CHELUVAMBA HOSPITAL
The Cheluvamba Hospital, which is providing medical aid to thousands of women and children, is facing shortage of staff. The doctors serving here are shouldering the dual responsibilities of treating the women and children as well as teaching the PG students.
But the doctors here feel that due to shortage of nursing staff and doctors, it has not been possible
for them to provide satisfactory service.
On an average, 10,000 women give birth in this hospital per year. A minimum of 750 major
operations take place every year. The hospital is equipped with better facilities required for conducting operations and to look after the patients.
Seven teachers
The cleaning and security work have been entrusted to private agencies on contract basis since
1999. However, out of the required 17 teaching staff, only 7 are there on the rolls. Even in non- teaching staff, there is a shortage of 10 nurses and therefore, the hospital is finding it difficult to provide service during night.
At present, a lone nurse is managing 2 to 3 wards. But as there are ANM nurses, there is no problem
right now, say officers of the hospital.
Report is being sent every month to the Government about shortage of staff. But the Government has
not paid its attention. Now, it is hoped that the New Government would look into it.
The Hospital, which was started in 1934, is now a 400-bed hospital. In 1964, Children's Ward was
started separately.
Medicines
The hospital has a separate Blood Bank and medicines being provided to the patients are of good
quality. The hospital requires medicines worth Rs. 35 lakh every year and the Government has sanctioned Rs. 6 lakh for the first three months this year. The hospital receives Rs. one lakh annually by way of entrance fee and other fees.
With the permission of a committee headed by the DC, this amount is being utilised for getting
facilities required for the hospital.
The classrooms in which medical students were being taught, are now getting a face-lift following
one-and-half year's effort by the doctors

ENTERITIS SUSPECTED: 3 KIDS HOSPITALISED
A breakout of gastroenteritis among many children has spread panic
among the residents of Medanakeri in Nanjumalige, here this morning.
About 10 children have been admitted to JSS Hospital on Ramanuja Road, on complaining of
diarrhoea and vomiting since yesterday night. Six of them have been treated as outpatients, but the three children are admitted for further treatment.
As the symptoms of gastroenteritis led to the suspicion of cholera break-out, the City Corporation
Health Officer Dr. Nagaraj rushed to the spot and even called the Vani Vilas Water Works officials to inspect the water supplied to the area.
On hearing the news, MLA Mr. M.K. Somashekhar visited the place and blamed the Corporation for
not maintaining cleanliness and hygeine.
