76-year-old patient taken to community health centre 3 km away on motorbike
Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren, who also holds the Health portfolio, has reportedly asked Health Director K. Rajo to look into the media reports that said there was no ambulance facility for serious patients in far-off rural and hill areas. Officials say the government has been striving for balanced development of all districts. The reports said on Wednesday that as there was no ambulance at Parbung in Pherzol district, located at the tri-junction of Manipur, Myanmar and Mizoram, 76-year-old Hrangkaikung Hmar was taken to the community health centre 3 km away on a motorbike. A photograph shows two persons in home-made PPE gown sandwiching the patient on the bike. Hospital sources said the condition of the patient was “not good”.
