Before handing out health-certificates to over 1.7 thousand Hajj travelers. World Health Organization obliges hospitals to provide such international health certificates. But, it’s not the routined 8 doctor & 13 nurses, rather syndicates are giving away these sensitive information papers.
On site yesterday, 2nd floor of the hospital was packed with Hajj travelers in need for services. But, for the shortage of doctor, nurse & staffs. The lines were endless. Only 2 doctor, 4 nurses & 2 staffs could be found at the duty. It’s taking over 2 days for the general people to receive their health certificates.
Meanwhile the authorities are complaining about the extra crowd during the Hajj season. That has caused some inconveniences. Sub-Director of the hospital, Dr. Md. Abdus Salam opposed that, the hospital policy forbids of handing out health-certificates without proper testing. He even says that, legitimate actions will be taken against the ones involved in irregularities.
