Sub:  Poor state of Government hospitals in our city.


Sir:

I write to your
esteemed self to express my deep concern and anguish over the poor state of the
government hospital in Jammu. As you already know there is an outbreak of
epidemic of dengue and chikanguniya all across the nation. In this situation,
my brother was affected by dengue unfortunately. We rushed him to the
government hospital in desperation. We did not know the shocking surprises we
would meet at the hospital.

 

As we reached
there, we did not find anyone at the emergency. In the name of a nurse, we
found her dozing in a corner. The doctor on duty was not to be seen anywhere.
The hygiene and the cleanliness at the emergency was horrible. As I went to the
reception, I found the desk deserted. Seeing the poor state of affairs, the
family decided to rush to Dyanand Medical College and Hospital.

 

If we had not
rushed my brother to that hospital, any tragedy could have happened! I felt so
outraged the Government operated hospitals afterwards! What a sheer wastage of
national resources, the tax money of us, the taxpayers! What is the good of
such government hospitals which are as good as nothing? Why does the government
not privatize such hospitals? 

 

Now, I on
behalf of all the citizens of our state have decided to bring the attention of
the concerned authorities to the problem through the medium of your esteemed
newspaper. I just want to ask the concerned authorities and the ministry why
there is indifference and apathy to Government run hospitals. Where will the
poor go? Where the money of the people collected from taxes is going? I am
hopeful that you will help me by publishing this letter in your reputed daily.
Thanking you.

Yours truly,

Kaushik
