Should STNM Hospital be shifted ?

I am sharing those comments from the topic i had in Face book "Should STNM Hospital be shifted ?"

hospitals should b easily accessible, but looking at the fact that the amount n the type of patients this hospital caters, i feel that it should be shifted.this hospi was built long time back keeping in view the number of public its going to serve then.

i think the hospital shouldnt be shifted to Sabji Mandi (it was made for sabji and not human), rather it should have had to be renovated or properly built, proper medical equipment and good doctors had to be made available in the same place as it was the gift of our Choygal. Now we think this STNM will also sonner or later be (shopping centre/... See Morehotel/disco/pub/private nursing home etc) or in the hands of some business people in partnership with our Sikkim seller. Real Sikkimese well wisher should stop it from being permanently shifted to Sabji Mandi...... Sikkimese people should not be evaluated with Sabji....

I think the STNM hospital shouldn't shift because it's easy for people from gangtok to go to the hospital, and if it's shifted nobody will know where the hospital has shifted.They might get confused.

well,sichey is nt dat far nd STNM really needs 2 b renovated...da new hospital wid approx 550 bed n modern equipments wil definitely make Sikkim much mre healthier...i guess da current hospital being in da heart of town is nt a gud location due 2 smoke nd noise pollution,thou it's easily accessible...i suggest dat da upcoming hospital shud b surrounded by greenery wid a walkin park wil help heal da patients faster...:)..a hospital shud always b aloof in a clean environment n a wider place..:).

SNTM being the state referral hospital, needs more space to cater to patients from all over the state( i second mr.wangyal's opinion) also the present location is not good for patients... its too noisy...the present location can be used a Emergency centre/trauma center.

health based tourism is good for sikkim and if there is a good hospital with state of the art facilities and good doctors this could do not only good to our patients but can be a good business model for our people. If there is such a hospital we can save our people expenditure which goes in traveling and accommodation outside the state mostly places like new delhi and bombay also siliguri.

It could save lives, money, time and the stress!!!...

Jessen Gurung

complete waste of state money, its not going to change anything. He should have invested this money in developing the infrastructure of our present hospital....like acquiring new generation diagnostic machines like MRI, CT, Angiography or developing our operating theaters with new modern machines etc etc.... a lot can be done to change the face of our sick and pathetic medical system.... we dont need to built new hospitals.....

Chimi Palmu Theengh

multispeciality...hahaha joke of the century...the govt doesnt give job to specialist ....when there r so many vacancies...n plannin to open a new hospi is bullshit..m sorry..i fully agree with jessen.

Chetan Sapkota

chimi and puspa keep positive attitude and just give credit to dr chamling for such work.......this work is done for the betterment of the people of sikkim.....not for his own personal benifit...... so plz keep positive attitude n hope for the best...dont mind ok.......tk care

Diki Palmu Theengh

forget abt a new hospital....make the old one better...like jessen said CT,MRI,ANGIO...ts a must ths days...wonder how things r working bk there witout ths stuffs....for a simple blood test like doin PT INR,the pt nids to go to siliguri...tht sucks ...chimi ths new hospital truly is a joke...n heard its supposed to get over in three years...jus a new building aint gonna solve problems..uy nid equipments..u need manpower who knows how to use thm..u nid specialist...

Jessen Gurung

Chetan Sapkota, you seem to be living in the past. What is the use of a specialty hospital when you don't have specialists around? I am medical specialist myself and I know what its like to open a specialist hospital. Just opening it is not enough, you need to have an infrastructure and like Diki said also the people and specialist who are well ... See More acquainted with it. Is your Dr. Chamling ready to invest on this, because quality doesnt come cheap my friend.... so i still say rather invest in infrastructure than just some building.

Those early man tools found in Sikkim!

--> Display of Neolithic tools recovered from Sajyong, 2003 (Weekend Review) BY SHITAL PRADHAN Not only is the Himalayan land of Sikkim old but it is also considered ancient. The archeological findings of different Neolithic tools in this part of the Himalayas over the last three decades speak of its antiquity. It may be of little importance to many. However, findings of various Neolithic tools from the remote pockets in Sikkim over the past five decades have still collected vivid interest in people beyond this region. On three separate occasions, Neolithic tools had been dug out from Sikkim, and that unfolded the age of this Himalayan mountain land much against the period we were supposed to. “The term Neolithic Period, or New Stone Age, defines the second period, at the beginning of which ground and usually polished rock tools, notably axes, came into widespread use after the adoption of a new technique of stone working. The beginning of the Neolithic...

History on Easter Sunday and Padari Ganga Prasad Pradhan

By Seira Tamang As noted by various scholars, Hinduism, the Nepali language, the monarchy and a rastriya itihas (a chronicle of progress in which the dark era of Rana rule is contrasted with the enlightened, progressive and modern period of Panchayat rule) formed the core of the Panchayat regime’s national culture. The formation and consolidation of this national culture have required the expunging of uncomfortable facts and stories that might raise ambiguities and questions. While the selection of what and who is and is not acknowledged to exist (or at least exist in historically important ways) in official Nepali history is complex, social scientists have begun to provide more comprehensive historical accounts of the past through oral histories and re-readings of historical documents. Such accounts reveal how ordinary people lived in the past, and offer ways to think through how ‘history’ is crafted, shaped and managed in order to reflect ‘the reality’ best suited to the status quo, ...

Shapi of Sikkim: Our legacy -iii

A Sikkimese with a Shapi The two previous articles I wrote in my earlier edition on Shapi were wonderful to read for people around, and appreciation had been received from different corners of the state. I am thankful and find pleasure in people finding joy in my findings and research work. It was a bit surprising that very few had heard about Shapi, our rare legacy. Nevertheless, I am happy to be part of history for re-introducing Shapi to those sections of my readers who had never heard about this old and sacred mountain mammal, a native of Sikkim. I dedicate my writing on Shapi to Ongden Daju (RO), who has been very supportive of me ever since I first published its first part a few months back. It was he who wanted me to continue with the third part of Shapi since more findings were evolving after my two writings. I shall always remain grateful to JR Subba, Jt Director from the Forest Department, for providing me with a valuable census report of Shapi done by the Department...
