SHILLONG: In view of the ongoing strike by the field staff of GVK EMRI, the director of Health Services (MCH&FW) has asked the District Medical and Health Officers (DMHOs) of all the districts to ensure that the facility-based ambulances allocated to DHs, CHCs, and PHCs must try to supplement the demand for ambulance service as much as possible.
In a notification issued on Monday, the Director of Health Services (MCH&FW) requested the DMHOs to take necessary steps to prevent unavailability of ambulance service to the beneficiaries due to the ongoing strike.
