Kohima, Oct 3 (NEPS): The Naga Hoho has reaffirmed its earlier stand of supporting the tripartite MoU of the State Government, EHA and CMC, Vallore for running the affairs of the Dimapur Referral Hospital.
Talking to NEPS over phone from Dimapur here today, the Naga Hoho President Horangse Sangtam said all the civil societies including the Naga Hoho had already endorsed the tripartite agreement of the State Government for managing the affairs of the Dimapur Referral Hospital.
He however expressed serious concern on the recent development wherein some alleged members of the Nagaland Doctors Association (NDA) went up to the extent of filing PIL against the Government’s tripartite agreement with the EHA and CMC, Vellore.
The Naga Hoho Chief explained that the PIL filed by some alleged sections of the NDA would not bring any benefit to the common people in the State. “And since we are for the interest of the people in the State, any step which were going against the interest of the people in the State would be objected,” he stated.
Asked if the alleged few leaders of the NDA still stick to their gun, Sangtam cautioned that if they continued to go against the spirit of the tripartite agreement, the civil societies could also go against them.
“We would not allow money oriented hospital in the State but life-saving hospital and the tripartite agreement of the State Government was in that direction,” he pointed out. “They should not go against the wishes of the people.”
It may be mentioned that on Saturday, State Health Minister Dr TM Lotha had fired on a few leaders of the NDA for filing the PIL against the State Government tripartite MoU.
He had questioned the motives behind the filing of PIL in the Court by some individuals in the Nagaland Doctors Association (NDA) and even charged them of trying to sabotage the novel venture and dream of the people of the State to have a Medical College and Nursing Collage of their own after 42 years of Statehood.”
