No cardiologist at Silchar Medical College despite efforts, people suffer

Many organizations in Silchar have taken expectations to the cardiology department of the Silchar Medical College and Hospitals (SMCH) not having a doctor till today. What has offended them more is the fact that despite the authorities at SMCH having selected a doctorfor the said department and sending a file in relation to his appointment to Dispur back in the month of March itself the appointment is yet to take place due to alleged red tape.
Due to absence of a cardiologist, many patients, over a long time , have had to suffer. Some of them even had to face death due to the lack of proper treatment. As such , under the longstanding pressure and suasion of the public of Silchar, the SMCH authorities made effort to appoint a specialist cardiologist named Dr. Rakesh P. Gopal who was with Chennai Apollo Hospitals
