Health scare: Nizamia hosp infected with neglect

Hyderabad | Sunday | 22nd July, 2018

Summary:

Nizamia General Hospital Unani ) at Charminar , which used to draw thousands of patients seeking gynaecological and paralysis treatment about half a decade ago, is now lying in a state of neglect. This slowly saw a fall in the number of patients seeking gynaecological treatment.Of the 208 sanctioned posts in the hospital, 107 are vacant, say authorities. The hospital apparently had funds approved for renovation, but the contractor left the work mid-way and vanished altogether due to “political pressure”. There are vacant posts in all departments, including sanitation, and we are managing with the little manpower that we have. Discouraged by the poor maintenance and facilities, the doctor sought a transfer and left, following which there was no new deputation..
