GH-16 hikes charges for homoeo students
using its facilities
Chandigarh, May 1 In the latest notification issued by the Department of Health, UT, to the medical colleges concerned, the annual charges for availing the facilities at the General Hospital have been revised from Rs 5,000 paid by the students till last year to Rs 20,000. The quarterly fee charges for availing the same facilities at the hospital will be Rs 5,500. While the parents resent the exorbitant increase in the charges, the authorities say that following the hike in the charges approved by the Punjab Government, the UT “The Chandigarh Administration follows the charges which are applicable in the colleges in Punjab. Since the Punjab Government has revised its charges, we have also followed them,’’ says Director Health Services (DHS) Dr C.P. Bansal while talking to Chandigarh Tribune today. The Administration defends the hike by saying that the fee charges in Punjab and Chandigarh need to be equivalent otherwise the city will witness an unprecedented rush of students from Punjab and the limited facilities at the hospital would be inadequate to accommodate the rush. However, Principal of the Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital, Sector 26, Dr K.K. Dhiman, says that considering the steep hike which would be harsh on the students, he has taken up the matter with the Administration. “I have written a letter to the Administration after the hike was notified. Maybe the decision is in the favour of the students,’’ says Dr Dhiman. Apart from the hike in the charges for the homoeopathic students in the private colleges, the charges for the MBBS, BDS, Ayurvedic, B Sc Nursing, B Sc Physiotherapy, B Sc Medical tech and lab, B Sc Radiology, diploma in Med. Lab. Technology, ANM course, GNM course, other para medical diploma and degree course, diploma in radiology and M Sc nursing have also been revised. |

Experts discuss sleep disorders
Mohali, May 1 According to Dr Anupam Jindal, “The evolution of Endoscopic disc surgery had revolutionised the treatment pattern of disc problems (cervical, dorsal and lumber problems). A very small incision (less than one cm) was made to carry out the procedure, which reduced the trauma and stay of patient in the hospital compared to conventional procedures, where the patient had to stay in the hospitals for five to seven days. He added that disc problems should not be ignored as they may cause permanent disability in the form of paralysis and sphincter disturbances.” The CME, which was held at Fortis, was chaired by Dr Gurbir Singh, medical superintendent of the hospital. |
