Dust-filled floors, waste strewn all around and unbearable reek give a wretched reminder of the unhygienic condition of health institutions in India. This is a common scenario at Fever Hospital; Waste is dumped in corridors and sometimes even inside the wards.
Reams have been written about the state of health care in India, but Overcrowded wards, unclean surroundings and non-functioning equipment is almost synonymous with government hospitals in the city, be Gandhi, Niloufer or Osmania hospital.
The hospitals lack equipment to deal with major accidents with numerous causalities, and workers may it be a Doctor, Ward Boy or a cleaners are not Sincere about their duties, leading to an unhygienic life at the Govt hospitals.
“It is certainly possible for someone to fall sick, being exposed to the germs inside the bathrooms, bathrooms are pathetic is a severe understatement. Most of them don’t even have taps and there is no water inside the bathrooms.
With chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao promising to improve quality of hospitals in the state, many hopes a change in the conditions.
