Port Blair, Aug 20: Glaring examples of negligence in health care at the Islands’ only referral hospital have been coming to light. The incidents where in, delayed response for ambulances, unequipped ambulances and no immediate check by the health officials at the GB Pant upon arrival at the hospital is something that can be termed as negligence.

The collapse of GB Pant has been a result of failure in strategic planning by the authorities to combat the present COVID-19 pandemic. People have been pointing out that whatever steps that have been taken to control the pandemic was more focussed on pleasing the centre than for the welfare of the islanders.
