In a pressing plea for immediate action, the AKM (Ao Students’ Conference) has urgently called upon the Principal Director of the Department of Health and Family Welfare in Nagaland to deploy a Medical Specialist and Surgeon to the Integrated District Hospital (IMDH) in Mokokchung, Nagaland.

The absence of these crucial medical professionals has left the IMDH in a dire situation, causing immense suffering to the local population. The AKM has brought this pressing matter to the attention of the Principal Director through an official letter dated 14 September 2023.

It stated that since October 2022, the IMDH has been grappling with a severe shortage of medical staff due to the transfer of its medical surgeon and specialist without replacements. This staffing crisis has created significant obstacles for patients in need of medical attention, forcing many to seek healthcare services elsewhere, incurring substantial financial and emotional burdens.

The Students’ Conference stated that it believes the deployment of a medical surgeon and specialist to the IMDH is not only essential to alleviate the suffering faced by the local community but also crucial for ensuring timely and efficient medical intervention.

AKM further appealed the Principal Director to give immediate attention to this critical matter, emphasizing the urgency of the situation for the well-being of the general public in the region.
