ANM runs Sarabha Nagar dispensary

Manav Mander Ludhiana, August 24 Wild grass, hanging electricity wires, bathroom without taps, moisture-laden rooms and a single woman taking care of patients is the picture of government dispensary at Sarabha Nagar. The auxiliary nurse midwife (ANM), Daljit Kaur, is the only woman, who is shouldering responsibilities of everyone at the Sarabha Nagar dispensary. She is a doctor, a pharmacist and an ANM too.
Last year, too, a Tribune team visited the Sarabha Nagar dispensary, but the things have only worsened within one year. The dispensary is without a doctor since 2015. Mandeep Sandhu, the doctor in charge at the dispensary, was transferred to the Civil Hospital in 2015.
