Port Blair, July 3: The PCC President, Shri Kuldeep Rai Sharma has demanded for MRI facilities at GB Pant Hospital. In his letter addressed to the Principal Secretary (Health), Sharma has written that MRI has become a necessity for getting detailed images of almost all parts of body, which helps the physician to diagnose the decease properly and undertake treatment accordingly. But for getting this facility the islanders have to go to mainland by spending lots of money and time whereas some of them remain in their home/ local hospitals due to poverty and cry over their ill fate.

Sharma has thus requested the Pr. Secretary Health to consider MRI facility at GB Pant hospital as a welfare measure and has stated that such consideration will be beneficial to the people of these islands and also throw open job opportunities.
