Churaibari, Nov 29: Patients at Dharmanagar District Hospital reportedly facing severe inconvenience as CT scan plates have not been available for over a month. 

The Sanjeevani agency, which has been managing the CT scan services since February this year, has stopped providing plates.

However, the agency has issued a written notification on this matter citing unpaid bills.

While critical patients are being given digital images on their phones, many are left without proper reports. 

Meanwhile, medical Superintendent Bhaskar Das has termed the agency’s action illegal and stated that the hospital had not permitted the halt of services. 

Despite sending an official letter to the agency, no response has been received yet, he added. The CT scan unit was inaugurated by former Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb.
