The minister also inspected the hospital and gave necessary instructions. The event was attended by Doomdooma Municipal Board Chairperson Kanta Bhattacharya, Vice-Chairman Moni Dutta, several municipal ward councillors, In-Charge of the hospital SDMO Dr Asma Gajanvi, prominent social worker Arjun Baruah, members of the hospital management committee, and several prominent persons of the area.

The Oil India Limited (OIL) also donated another ambulance to the hospital a few days ago. So, one would now be utilized for carrying patients to long-distance destinations while the other could be operated locally, said Minister Gowala in his lecture.
