Since the current global pandemic erupted, the Goa Government has over the last crucial months repeatedly goofed up miserably in its plans and strategies while dealing with the virus.
The latest move to shift the Antenatal, Postnatal and Pediatric units of the Margao based COVID hospital to a very distant Mandur based Rural Health and Training Centre defies all logic. It is high time this dozing government wakes from its slumber and takes appropriate and medically wise decisions keeping in mind the ground realities and the exigencies of these troubled times. Even at this late stage to save the life of many, proper planning and urgent implementation of measures based on scientific and medical facts and advice from experts must be the priority and not knee jerk reactions to fight a destructive virus. These extraordinary times need timely and proper measures and this is why experts and not inept politicians should be entrusted the arduous task of navigating us through this crisis.
