It is intriguing that Union Ayush Minister Shripad Naik though being a
settler in Ribandar for so may decades is circuitously opposing and subtly
sabotaging the setting up of the proposed 30 bedded Health Centre at the
Old Ribandar Hospital despite it being a unanimous demand of all.
Ayush Minister Shripad Naik and his family who enjoy the privilege of
admitting themselves at plush private hospitals when sick should realize
that the common man depends on medical services provided by the Government
and this is the reason why the setting up of a fully fledged Health Care
Centre at the Old Ribandar hospital should be a priority.
Shripad Naik who for reasons best known to him is pushing for an Ayush and
Yoga Centre to be setup at the Old Ribandar Hospital should realize that
recently while he was infected with COVID-19 his Ayush doctors were of no
avail but that it was Allopathic treatment that came to his rescue.
Besides the Corporation of the City of Panaji, the Panchayats of Chimbel,
Merces, Old Goa and and the Panchayats of Sao Matias and Goltim-Navelim in
Divar have all sent unanimously resolutions to the Government demanding the
setting up of a full fledged Health Care centre at the Old Ribandar
Hospital with round the clock medical facilities.
The Old Ribandar hospital was Asia’s first medical school established on 13
th December 1867 having a very glorious history and a priceless heritage
structure which needs to be preserved at all cost. To maintain the history
of this hospital there is need of restoring a fully fledged State of the
art medical centre at the Hospital with all possible health care
facilities. A Yoga and Ayush research centre can go elsewhere.
