IMPHAL, Jun 15 : The Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) has clarified that the institute had no role in bringing Kuki patients to the hospital or in the deployment of security personnel.
In a press note issued by its media cell, RIMS stated that the injured persons were referred and brought by the 183 Military Hospital, Leimakhong and the subsequent security arrangements related to their movement and treatment were made by the authorities concerned.
Stating that the sole responsibility of RIMS is to provide medical care to all patients brought to the hospital, it added that the professional, ethical and humanitarian duty of doctors and healthcare workers is to attend to and treat patients requiring medical attention, irrespective of their background or circumstances.

RIMS sought cooperation and understanding from all sections of society to ensure the uninterrupted functioning of health care services.
It further appealed to the public not to view the institute's action otherwise, 'as its sole responsibility is to provide medical care to all patients brought for treatment'.
