According to a statement issued by the health department, CMO Dr Virender Yadav made the visit at 1:30 pm. “Some of the doctors were not on duty and one doctor did not mark attendance. A warning has been issued to all the staff that strict disciplinary action will be initiated if the mistake is repeated,” read the statement.

Yadav took the complete round of the polyclinic and asked patients about the services at the hospital.

“Electricity wires hanging out of place. The facility lacked cleanliness. There were multiple registration counters for vaccination and that confused beneficiaries. In the drug and vaccination store, items were not arranged properly. Instructions have been given to resolve the shortcomings within a week,” said Yadav.
