Reduce in number of patients visiting Government Medical College and Hospital
There has been a marked reduce in patients visiting Government Medical College and Hostel (GMCH) due to lack of basic amenities in hospital premises. There is lack of basic drugs, syringes, plasters and advanced surgical equipments. Patients face lots of problems due to lack of proper medicines.
People visit other hospitals rather than opting for GMCH as they feel more safe at the other place. Surgical dealers have stopped supplying goods to the hospital due to a big outstanding bill.
