“Staffs of Public Health centre take leave but no Alternatives”

Rampur, Palpa
October 5, 2008
The staffs of the Public Health Centre (PHC), Rampur have taken leave but there is no alternative provided. There are six vacant posts. The posts are Health assistant (HA), a Staff Nurse, an Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM), a deputy accountant, and two peons. Few of them are on study leave.
Tirtha Pangeni, the chairman of PHC support committee, says that they only can complain all the authority is at the district level. Staffs make themselves their study leave from the district health office by any way. But district health office does not think of any alternatives for the vacant post and for the replacement for those who are on study leave.
Balkrishna Bhusal, the chief of District Health Office, said there is the high tendency of unwilling to go to remote areas for the service. The PHC lies at the distance of 45 km away from the blacktopped highway. There is the problem few staffs seek for study leave and deny listening anything in reverse want to quit the job.
Ramdev Chaudhari is absent since last 7 days. A staffer not wanted to tell his name said that the doctor does not have any concern to the health services he takes leave any time he likes.
