DIMAPUR, OCTOBER 19 (MExN): The hospital authority of Dr Imkongliba Memorial District Hospital, Mokokchung and Chest Diseases & TB Hospital, Mokokchung has expressed deep concern and condemnation regarding the recent incident where damage to hospital property was caused by a mob of people on the evening of October 18.
“Such acts of violence and vandalism not only endanger the wellbeing of patients and staffs but also inflict lasting damage on vital healthcare infrastructure that serves the community in times of need. Hospitals are sanctuaries of healing, places where compassion and care should prevail over chaos and destruction,” a press release from the Medical Superintendent, IMDH stated.
It said that this “reprehensible behaviour exhibited by the mob not only undermines the values of respect, empathy and cooperation that are at the core of any civilized society but also jeopardise the healthcare ecosystem.” It hoped that all individuals and organizations will condemn such acts and care for public property as their own personal property so that such acts can be prevented in the future.
