[Points : Mismanagement - lack of cleanliness — patients on the floor — doctors apathetic, scarcity of medicines, tests to be done outside - poor food quality — hard admission – chaotic condition prevailing everywhere.]
To,
The Editor,
The Statesman,
Kolkata-700001 Date. 6.3.2021
Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I want to venture my views on the bad condition of the hospital in our locality is very deplorable. The doctors are not alway s available, often they remain out of the hospital to attend their personal clinic. As a result, outdoor patients have to wait in a long standing queue. Sometimes they are compelled to return home without treatment. The indoor patients cry for medical help but nurses do not care to attend them in time. The other staffs of the hospital neglect their duties. As such hospital rooms and corridors remain extremely untidy and nasty. Food and water are inadequate and unhygienic. Life saving medicines are scarce and other medicines are always short in the store. E.C.G. and X-ray plants remain out of order. In view of the fact, the authority concerned is requested to look into the matter and take necessary steps to end the bad condition of the hospital in the interest of the people.
Yours faithfully,
Suranjan Das
