In Kolkata we are having mainly five major Govt.Hospitals viz. P.G.hospital, Medical college hospital, NilRatan sarkar medical college hospital, R,G. Kar medical college hospital,National medical college hospital.In Government hospitals mainly poor and lower middle class people go for treatment.Apart from Kolkata huge numbers of patients come from the district hospitals as referred by them . As a result these hospitals have to take huge load.
The total number of beds available in these hospitals and the average requirements of beds are much on the higher side.
As a result of excessive patients admitted against available beds the situations which arise are against humanity and civilisation.
Many times it is found two patients are lying in a single bed.This is not only against civilisation but also unhygienic. Besides the most surprising thing sometimes a good number of patients take their beds at the floor . It causes plinfection. Apart from these the regular system comes to collapse due to shortage of toilets , Doctors , Nursing staff , Supporting staff. How treatment can be available under these circumstances?
The patients therefore are left to the luck only for their recovery or survival.Even for taking the worst treatment huge number of patients and their families have to face unbelievable harrousments everyday for getting admitted in a government hospital.
We always criticise the government hospitals for dirty atmosphere and incompetent medical treatment , while criticising the tremendous load they take despite poor infrastructure must be taken into consideration.
What is the solution? At least three hospitals may be set up in Kolkata.At the same time it must be taken in to consideration that sufficient land will be required for the hospitals and it is doubtful such huge land whether available and huge investment are required. The funding problem how to be met may also be thought.
