Yesterday i.e. on Friday, such a painful scene was seen in the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial (MGM) Hospital located in Warangal, Telangana, which shattered the claims of the health system. Kanta Rao, a resident of Khammam district, died of a heart attack.
After the death, the hospital staff adopted such a cruel attitude that they neither helped nor provided a stretcher to take out the body. The helpless family members finally had to carry the body of their loved one on their shoulders and carry it to the ambulance.
After Khammam resident Kanta Rao suffered a serious heart attack, family members immediately took him to MGM Hospital. However, the doctors declared him dead. The real shock for the family grieving the death happened after this. When the family asked the hospital staff for a stretcher to take the body out of the mortuary to the ambulance, they were turned down.
What is the whole matter?
People present at the spot said that the hospital staff flatly refused to help saying that it was not their job. As a result, the family members were left with no option and had to carry the body in their hands, without any support, through the corridors of the hospital to the parking area outside.
During this period, no officer or employee posted in the hospital came forward. On one hand, governments talk about schemes like ‘Ayushman Bharat’, on the other hand, such treatment of patients and their families in government hospitals raises questions.
Lack of basic facilities in government hospitals of Telangana
There are often complaints of lack of basic facilities and rude behavior of the staff in major government hospitals of Telangana. Especially in district hospitals, where there is more crowd, shortage of stretchers and wheelchairs is common. However, in a big institution like MGM, this kind of treatment of a dead person is not only inhumane, but it is also against medical ethics. In the last few years, many such cases have come to light where patients had to be dragged on the floor on stretchers, but such treatment of the dead body is socially disastrous.
