Facilities at the ICTC in BJRM Hospital in New Delhi

[Guest guest]

To,

Mr. B.S. Benerjee,

The Project Director,

DSACS, Sec.-6,

Rohini, Delhi-85.

Dear Sir,

I Visited the official in ICTC Center of Babu Jagjeevan Ram Hospital (BJRH)

yesterday (on 08/05/2008) morning.

I saw there is no toilet, drinking water, seating arrangements for the patients

and there is only a single table for three counsellers and no table or chairs

for patients.

Daily, approximately thirty five people, including pregnant women visit ICTC for

HIV testing.

So, I request to you to kindly arrange the basic facilities for patients and

also relief for pregnant ladies.

With Warm Regards

Dear Forum,

Re: /message/8774

On one hand the NACO is talking of quality and standards in upscaling the

facilities, but on the other hand the gound realities are starkly different in

the capital itself. Urgent action should be taken to make the ICTC client

friendly and ensure privacy for clients. Three conselors are not needed.

I feel if the rest two do some outreach activity by rotation, the clients will

at least have some place to sit.
