Amritsar, October 28
Medical Education and Research Minister Anil Joshi inaugurated free dispensary at Government Dental College today. The dispensary will provide medicines to all patients free of cost.
Though free medicines at hospitals associated with the Health Department are available for the past three years, lack of facility at dental college had posed a problem for the poor patients.
Joshi said medicines related to dentistry and its various specialties were available at the dispensary.
College Principal, Dr Jeevan Lata, requested the minister for providing elevator facility at the institute. At present all operation theatres are on the first floor. So, patients are shifted through stairs after surgery. Dr Lata said the minister had assured that elevators would be installed at the institute shortly.
Senior faculty members, including Dr Navneet Grewal, Dr Vijay Sharma, Dr Nitin Verma, Dr RP Singh, and secretary of the Punjab Ministerail Staff Union, Jagdish Thakur, thanked the minister for setting up free dispensary at the institute. — TNS
