Radiologist Shortages Disrupt Diagnostic Services at Government Hospitals in Palampur and Rohtak
Government hospitals in Palampur, Sullah, and Rohtak face shortages of radiologists and ultrasonologists, leading to halted ultrasound and CT scan services despite available equipment. Patients, including expectant mothers and those with chronic ailments, must travel long distances or pay private fees for diagnostics, causing delays and financial strain. Local officials acknowledge the issue, with some attributing service deterioration to political changes. The lack of specialists has resulted in underutilized medical resources and increased patient inconvenience in public healthcare facilities.
