There is a district hospital Victoria in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. Every day thousands of patients come here for treatment. But this hospital is suffering from lack of resources. The condition of the ICU ward here is also bad. There is neither a cooler nor a fan in the ICU, due to which patients have to face trouble every day. In such a situation, patients and their relatives bring fans from their homes to the hospital.
The centralized AC system has been closed in the hospital for many months, about which complaints were being made continuously by the patients, but till now no one has paid attention to it. The anger among the people is increasing due to the negligence of the hospital administration and the poor condition of health facilities. In this context, a delegation of Congress reached the hospital late at night and took stock of the situation there. Everyone was shocked to see the condition of the ICU.
There is not even a fan in the ICU
Aarti, a relative of a patient, said that there is not even a fan in the ICU ward. They are troubled due to heat and humidity. She has bought a table fan from the market, which has been placed in front of the patient. There are around 15 to 20 patients admitted in the ICU. The relatives of all the patients have brought fans. The health department is not paying any attention to this. There is a pile of garbage around the hospital, which no officer is paying attention to.
The Chief Medical Officer took stock of the hospital
The relatives of the troubled patients created a ruckus on Sunday night. Around 12 o’clock in the night, the Chief Medical Officer (CMHO) and RMO also reached the hospital and took stock. Congress workers urged the Chief Medical Officer to solve the problem as soon as possible. The CMHO has also assured to solve the problem soon.
