Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh-
In a bid to ensure the best health care facilities to the people of the state, Punjab Health and Family Welfare Minister Dr Balbir Singh directed all civil surgeons to ensure the availability of essential medicines at government health facilities. This will prevent any difficulties for the people in accessing necessary medical care.
While presiding over a Conference-cum-Training Workshop for the Civil Surgeons, the Health Minister reviewed the performance of all civil surgeons. He emphasised that all doctors and hospital staff should exhibit polite and humble behaviour towards patients and their attendants to build stronger trust in government health institutions.
He stated that nursing students should receive training in monitoring blood pressure, H.B. level, and conducting eye check-ups. Additionally, their services should also be utilised to assist patients and their attendants in hospitals. He mentioned that students from schools and colleges would be trained in providing first aid to enable them for assisting others in case of an accident or emergency.
