RAMBAN: The CMO office Ramban has strongly refuted the news report claiming that no medical staff attended an elderly person at Sub-District Hospital Banihal and “after half an hour since his arrival, the patient was rushed to the casualty room where he was declared dead." This statement is incorrect and misleading, Chief Medical Officer Ramban, Kamal Je Zadoo said.

Issuing a rebuttal, the CMO stated “The hospital's CCTV footage has revealed that the patient was attended by the on-duty staff (Pharmacist) along with a Medical officer within one minute of his arrival at the hospital. These details clearly contradict the timeline presented in the news report.”

“While we deeply sympathize with the family of the deceased, it is also crucial to clarify certain aspects of the incident to ensure that accurate information is conveyed to the public. We emphasize that the hospital staff responded promptly and followed the necessary protocols to provide immediate care to the patient. We urge the public and media to rely on verified information and avoid spreading misinformation that could cause unnecessary distress,” he added.
