The Rourkela Government Hospital has been under scrutiny for alleged corruption, causing concerns among the public. To address these allegations, Dr. Ganesh Dash, the medical superintendent and acting director of the hospital, initiated an investigation. On March 28, several sub-committees were formed to look into the inflated bills submitted by different companies. These panels have recently submitted their reports, dated May 8, 2024, to Dr. Dash, providing concrete evidence of widespread corruption at the RGH.
Based on the findings of the reports, Dr. Dash has taken action by halting payments to three agencies for the months of March and April. The reports, which have been obtained by OrissaPOST, further confirm the existence of large-scale irregularities at the RGH. One of the agencies, M/S Sarala Security Services, was responsible for providing security personnel to the hospital. However, upon examining the bills, it was discovered that the company had billed the hospital for 84 personnel, when in fact they were only providing 68, instead of the agreed upon 104.
Another panel uncovered similar discrepancies with M/S Paritosh Services, the company responsible for housekeeping. They were billing the hospital for 74 workers, but only providing 62. The same pattern was found in the laundry services, where the company was charging for more services than they were actually providing. Dr. Dash has taken swift action by stopping payments to these three organizations and has also forwarded the reports to higher authorities for further investigation.
In light of these findings, Dr. Dash has reassured the public that he is taking necessary measures to address the corruption and ensure that the hospital operates with transparency and integrity. The actions taken by Dr. Dash demonstrate his commitment to upholding the values of the RGH and providing quality healthcare to the community. The people of Rourkela can rest assured knowing that steps are being taken to rectify the situation and prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
