The Health Minister said that during his surprise inspection, there was a lack of managerial system in the hospital.
He said, “I saw an elderly woman of about 75 years in the hospital in need of a stretcher for her son. The guards present there did not help the woman to get the stretcher and/or carry the stretcher.”
During the function, the Health Minister said that arrangements should be made for basic needs like stretching of stretcher in the hospital, so that patients do not face any such problem again.
