Staff apathy ails Faridabad Civil Hospital Faridabad, September 18 Most of the patients have to depend on the services of private diagnostic and test (laboratories) centres that have mushroomed near the civil hospital, making a big hole in the pocket of the patients. The Civil Hospital having a capacity of 200 beds is not only one of the oldest, but the biggest of the civil hospitals in the state. Hundreds of patients visit the OPD daily and many of them are admitted for further treatment. But the standard of facilities has not been up to the expectations. Many of the patients and their attendants find their purses lighter after the end of the day, as the physicians and doctors attending on the patients normally ask the latter to visit certain private test laboratory and diagnostic centres for tests like ultrasound, C.T. Scan, and all kinds of tests including blood, urine and culture
reports. Although the hospital ought to provide such facilities inside. It is reported that the ‘doctors’ and other staff allegedly receive ‘commission’ for each patient sent to the private laboratories. In one such case that surfaced recently, one Ajay Giri, a resident of a colony near border visited the hospital for treatment of his daughter (6 years) suffering from jaundice. Mr Giri who thought, treatment at the Civil Hospital would be cheaper, found himself poorer by several hundred rupees. He said that he had to pay about Rs 450 to a private laboratory located near the Civil Hospital for tests and the doctor in the hospital, whom he consulted had asked him to visit a particular laboratory for detailed tests. He said he was shocked at the state of affairs prevailing at the Civil Hospital, which receives crores of rupees as grant from the state government. |
