It has been said that
health is wealth but today it seems general public’s health is not secure in
the hands of ruling party, to preserve good condition of one’s body, in the
time of disease the medical treatment must be available at the door step and it
is the mandatory duty of every government to provide medical facilities to
every citizen of India to survive.
In Punjab the medical
facilities provided by government in civil hospital all over Punjab has a
pathetic and miserable condition. In government hospital there is no
proper infrastructure and medical staff to look after the patient.
Ludhiana is the
metropolitan city of the Punjab but the civil hospital of this city disclosed
the government’s health services to the common man. In this hospital senior doctor,
accountant and other staff sit in a small duty room where the doctor check up
patient who got wounded in any scuffle or fights and medical staff keep busy to
register their MLR.
If there is any
emergency patient admitted in civil hospital there will be not spare/extra
doctor to provide first aid medical treatment to patient.
There are always a
number of MLR cases and on duty doctor cannot handle all patient at a time. As
a result ordinary poor patient could not get proper medical facilities in emergency
time. The hygienic condition of wards and toilet is so bad. There is no proper
medical staff to care the patient regular.
It seems, government
civil hospital is made for the treatment of prisoners and a place of post
mortem an examination and dissection of a dead body to determine cause of death
or changes produced by disease or to complete legal liabilities of MLR to
procure medical report all time police personnel roaming in the hospital.
A private hospital of
merely100 sqd yard provides more facilities to a patient but in civil hospital
there is not a single person responsible to attend patient. In civil hospital
doctors have over burden of legal work all time to prepare legal report of all
post mortem, admitted prisoners health report and MLR.
If government wants to
welfare of the citizens must have to change their criteria policy to provide
medical facilities to general public and take appropriate step to provide
medical facilities to a common man in civil hospital. There must be separate
department and doctor teams for legal work as MLR, post mortem and prisoner’s
medical checkup.
