For the last 2 months, 12-yr- old machine is defunct; technicians blame govt
Patients at Chest Diseases (CD) Hospital of Government Medical College (GMC) Jammu, battling serious respiratory and chest-related conditions, are facing difficulties as the hospital's Rs two crore CT scan machine is non-functional for over two months. However, the private scan centres are making huge profits as the situation has left hundreds of patients in distress, with many forced to seek expensive imaging services at private diagnostic centres in Jammu.
Insiders confirmed that the machine developed a technical fault in March this year and since been out of order. The 12-year-old machine has suffered extensive wear and tear from years of uninterrupted use, making both diagnosis and repair a challenging task.
