Students of government-run Biju
Patnaik Homeopathic Medical College and Hospital in the town of
Berhampur are forced to go to the neighbouring City Hospital for their
one-year internship and other practical classes as the college has no
in-patient department (IPD).
The
43-year-old college has only out-patient department (OPD). On an
average around 200 patients visit the OPD, where two medical officers
and college teachers treat the patients
The
IPD has not been functioning due to staff crunch though the government
had provided costly equipment worth Rs 20 lakh to the college around
five years ago and a 25-bed indoor hall was constructed three years ago.
The equipment, including ultrasound, X-Ray, urinalysis, blood analyzers
and malaria test machines, are lying dumped in the hospital.
During
an inspection by the Central Council of Homeopathy (CCH) recently, the
apex body to verify infrastructure facilities of colleges before
admission, the government had promised to start operating the indoor
department, but to no avail.
