Hyderabad: There is a long waiting list of patients suffering from Dengue to be admitted in government hospitals.
Limited space in government hospitals
It is creating a lot of problems for the management of the hospitals as they have limited space.
The strange thing is that the Dept. of Health is not bothered about providing facilities to the patients. Despite arranging separate ward in fever hospital, more than one patient is being accommodated on a single bed.
Patients wait for days to get admission
Patients coming from neighbouring districts have to wait for many days for their turn to get admission in Govt. hospitals.
In twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, many citizens are getting affected due to viral and Dengue fevers.
Need to increase beds
There is a need for the Health Dept. to arrange extra staff and more beds besides providing enough quantity of medicine.
The relatives of the patients complain that they have to wait for many days to get the patients admitted since there is no accommodation available. Many patients are waiting in the courtyard and the parks of the hospitals. It is suggested that Govt. can provide at least emergency medical aid to such patients.
