Port Blair, Sept. 13: In a letter addressed to the Lt. Governor, A&N Islands, Shri Bishnu Pada Ray, Member of Parliament, A & N Islands has invited his attention over the shortcomings at CHC Rangat, Middle Andaman.

The Community Health Centre at Rangat requires immediate attention over important healthcare concerns in the interest of local residents, particularly women folks. Due to non-availability of permanent Gynecologist in the centre, the pregnant women are going through tremendous hardships in obtaining routine and regular check-ups. Despite presence of Ultra Sound machine and other facilities at CHC Rangat, the absence of Gynecologist forces women to travel to Port Blair for delivery or problems associated with pregnancy.
