Safety audits ordered

Defective machines raise concerns
The high-flow Nasal C-Pipe machines, three in numbers were bought six or seven months ago only in which one machine is a non-starter, the other got burnt last night and so there is one machine left.
The concerned company that had supplied these machines has been noticed to rush its experts to find out the flaws in the machines and also to set it right before any delay under orders of the DC Shashi Ranjan.
Civil Surgeon Palamu Dr Anil Kumar and paediatrician Dr Gaurav Vishal had a great word of appreciation for the brave act of Mamta, Dayani and Ravi.
