City Anchor: Thalassemia patients' pain, no haematologist in Civil

More than 700 patients suffering from blood disorders in Rajkot city are suffering due to the inhuman policy of the civil society. At present, more than 700 thalassemia patients come to the Civil Hospital for treatment, but there is no haematologist here and desferal injections are not available for the last two-and-a-half years. Apart from this, he also demanded that the medicine given to the civil servant would cause vomiting in the children. The Thalassemia victims of Rajkot submitted to the district collector that they were not being given the medicine of Deep Pharma at present. This medicine causes vomiting in children, so instead of this medicine, Sun Pharma's defrigate medicine should be given. He also demanded that arrangements should be made to provide regular medicine to the patients who are facing difficulties in the Civil Hospital so that there is sometimes a stock of Kelfer medicines. At the same time, it was also proposed to appoint a special doctor as the children are facing a lot of difficulties due to the non-availability of important desferal injections for children with ferritin for the last two and a half years. The Civil Superintendent's only reply is to go to Gandhinagar Frequent face-to-face representations are made for the treatment and medication difficulties faced by Thalassemia major patients as well as appointment of a specialist doctor haematologist for Thalassemia patients. However, Civil Superintendent Dr. Monali Mankadia gives rude answers to the patients like if nothing happens from here, you go to Gandhinagar.
