Soochna Seva – Fight Fire with Unity
Locked doors, jammed windows, empty corridors and a vast stretch of pastures spread inside the premises of the Primary Health Centre (PHC) in Bakhri village tells a sorry tale of reckless management.
People of Bakhri village in Ramnagar block of West Champaran complained to a Soochna Sevak, “The health centre remains closed almost all the time. Even if it opens, it is of no use in absence of beds, medicines and ambulance service.”
Soochna Sevak mentored the locals in writing a complaint detailing their problems to the District Magistrate of West Champaran and forwarded a copy of the letter to other concerned departments. Indentifying the urgency of the issue, the DM visited the public health centre and found out that the PHC staff rarely visit the centre. They forge their attendance and collect salaries for doing nothing worthwhile.
He put the squeeze on the concerned officials and instructed them to arrange the required amenities at the health centre. The intervention bore effective result soon. The PHC is now in its pink of health.
