Many people in the medicine ward are forced to share beds. 45-year-old Yudhvir Singh reported that his 75-year-old father has to share a bed with another sick person, who is 62 years old. Management should not turn a blind eye to this issue.
Token machine unfunctional despite being installed
From the crowded medicine ward to the ultrasound and other departments, the token machines installed outside are shut down. The machines that are operational are stuck in one place, causing distress and confusion among attendants and patients regarding their turn.
Medicine Distributors denying the payment via Ayushmann Card
It’s been a concerning issue that the patients are unable to operate their Ayushmann Card, leading to agitation amongst them.
Counters are made along in the polyhouse, adjacent to Krsna Labs for providing assistance for the interchange and formalities for the cards.
The reason behind the change needs to be investigated in the further series.
No space to rest
People find no place to rest, including attendees who were seen sleeping, anywhere they found the place, including block’s floors, below the beds of their patients.
