SCTIMST Halts Neuro Procedures Due to Supply Shortage

Doctors at the Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology (SCTIMST) have stopped performing certain brain procedures.

This is because they ran out of special medical tools, like tiny tubes and coils, needed for these operations.

The doctors say they've been warning about this shortage since late last year.

The problem is that the old way of buying these tools hasn't been updated.

Now, the government wants them to use a new system, but it's causing delays.

The hospital is trying to fix the problem, but for now, some patients have had their surgeries canceled or postponed.

The doctors are frustrated, but the hospital is working to find a solution.
