Port Blair, June 27: The Andaman Nicobar Territorial Congress Committee President, Shri. Rangalal Halder has formally addressed a letter to the Health Secretary, A & N Administration, emphasizing the urgent need for the appointment of a neurosurgeon and a urologist specialist at GB Pant Hospital.

Halder highlighted the challenges faced by many patients in accessing specialized medical care, particularly in the fields of neurosurgery and urology, at GB Pant Hospital.

He stated that the lack of specialized doctors has compelled many patients to seek treatment on the mainland for which the cost of medical care is often prohibitively high, placing an enormous financial burden on families who are unable to afford the travel and treatment expenses.

Halder's appeal underscores the pressing need to improve the healthcare services provided at GB Pant Hospital and with this appointment it would not only relieve the financial burden on families but also enhance the quality of healthcare available to the peoples of the Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
