Complaints against Pharmacist at UHC Delanipur Spark Concern among Residents

Port Blair, Aug. 07: Residents of Delanipur have raised serious concerns regarding the conduct of a pharmacist attached to the Urban Health Center (UHC) in Delanipur, Port Blair. According to complaints, the pharmacist has been neglecting their duties and displaying inappropriate behavior towards patients.

Recently, it was reported that a patient visiting the UHC encountered rude and unprofessional behavior from the pharmacist. The pharmacist allegedly acted arrogantly and failed to respond to the patient's needs properly, giving the impression that the medications were being provided at the pharmacist's personal expense.

There have also been complaints that the pharmacist has refused to dispense essential medications, such as insulin, despite doctors' prescriptions. Moreover, it has been observed that the pharmacist often delegates the task of distributing medicines to a ward attendant, rather than performing this duty personally. This ward attendant is reportedly known for heavy drinking, raising concerns about the potential for mistakes in medication distribution, which could have serious consequences for patients.

Further allegations suggest that this pharmacist had previously exhibited similar behavior while stationed at GB Pant Hospital, indicating a pattern of unprofessional conduct.

The general public in Delanipur and the surrounding areas of Port Blair is calling for prompt and necessary action to be taken against the pharmacist to ensure the safety and well-being of patients. The community hopes that the authorities will address these concerns swiftly in the interest of public health.

No Mercy for Government Employees: Staff Forced to Stay Beyond Tenure in Southern and Northern Islands

TMI Bureau Sri Vijaya Puram, Oct. 23: When an employee receives a transfer order to the Southern or Northern group of islands, they prepare mentally for a specific tenure as outlined in the transfer policy. However, they often face numerous challenges, including the lack of accommodation, government quarters, guest houses, mess facilities, boat or ship services, and even reliable mobile connectivity-challenges that affect both male and more to female employees.
