No Transport, Medicines For Critical Patients In Manipur's Churachandpur

Churachandpur medical crisis: Those suffering from serious cardiac problems and conditions like brain haemorrhage need fast intervention, which unfortunately is impossible to get due to no proper transport

Critical patients in Manipur's violence-hit Churachandpur district need urgent transport to specialist hospitals amid lack of supplies, facilities and medical professionals, a top doctor in the district told NDTV.

Those suffering from serious cardiac problems and conditions like brain haemorrhage need fast intervention, which unfortunately is impossible to get due to no proper transport, the doctor who has been overseeing health emergencies in Churachandpur said, requesting anonymity.

A helicopter service from Churachandpur that was announced by Home Minister Amit Shah in early June flew for some time and stopped. It hasn't been restarted yet.
