The Laitdom Primary Health Centre (PHC) finally saw the light of the day after about 13 years on Tuesday with Meghalaya Legislative Assembly Speaker, Metbah Lyngdoh dedicating it to the people of Mairang Block.
“Let’s look ahead and not look back. Let’s learn from mistakes and try not to repeat them in future” Lyngdoh who is also the local MLA said at the inauguration function.
Stating that the health centre will have limitations because it has just been opened he urged people of the area to inform the authorities of any faults that they may find and the authorities will try their best to resolve the issues.
“I believe that the doctors who will be appointed in this PHC will do their duty to the best of their abilities. I believe they will give selfless service to you the people of this area without thinking of any personal gains but to leave a legacy of what they have done to serve you,” the Speaker said.
He also applauded people who have willingly donated their land of approximately one and a half acre for constructing the health centre.
Health Minister, AL Hek in his address urged doctors posted in the Laitdom PHC to dedicate their service for the people and sought the cooperation of the residents to make the PHC a success. He also stressed on the importance of immunization and vaccinations and asked people to take advantage of it.
The Laitdom Primary Health Centre will cover three sub-centres that include Laitdom sub centre, Pyndengdombah sub centre and Mawsnar sub centre with a total population of 8556.
