PATHETIC CONDITION OF ECHS POLYCLINIC BUILDING- TIRUNELVELI

THE PATHETIC CONDITION OF ECHS POLYCLINIC TIRUNELVELI

The new building of ECHS Tirunelveli was inaugurated only on 03 Sep 2017.  Within two years of its inauguration, the ceiling of the building cracked twice and injured One Polyclinic Staff and one Visiting patient. (one Miss.Sorna, Lab Technician and Ex.JWO Peter (Patient)

This is the condition of a new building constructed by MES.  Utter negligence has been shown for the electrical wiring.  Very poor earthing damages the costly instruments.  The Air conditioners are not working properly.  The waiting hall is congested.  Only one toilet for the 150 patients visiting daily.  The main entrance  gate is at the turning point of a main road, prone to accidents.

The floor of the clinic is slippery, some aged patients are falling down on the waiting hall frequently.  Please look at the slope (in the photo) at the entrance of the clinic. This is a disgrace to the MES of the Navy.

The Naval Officers  at INS Kattabomman and at Vizakapatnam have given utter disregard to the welfare of Ex-servicemen.  Let the Navy hand over the Polyclinic to Army  control under Trivandrum.  The Station Headquarters INS Kattabomman is shown utter disregard to the Ex-servicemen.  They may please hand over the clinic to Army Control for better management and day to day adminstration.

Some photographs are published.

There are lot of problems with the ECHS System.  Most of the good empanelled 

hospitals in Chennai (Miot, Global) are going out of ECHS system, because of 

bill payment and other problems.  Coimbatore Hospitals totally avoiding ECHS Scheme.

The patients are made to run between ECHS at MH and MH at Eekattuthangal and other hospitals.

The movement of the patients in a large city like Chennai is very costly and painful.

Sometimes the members feel to pay and take treatment in any hospital instead of 

running up and down for free treatment.

Any email complaint given to the MD ECHS never gets reply.  Most of the medicines are 

not available at the clinic.  Local purchase also restricted to great extent.

In spite of paying a Lumpsum amount and monthly Rs.1000 to the scheme, the members 

have to beg for better medicine and treatment.

THE PERFORMANCE OF ECH SCHEME IS NOT GOOD

IT NEEDS IMMEDIATE IMPROVEMENT

OR SOME ALTERNATIVE METHOD OF TREATMENT.
