SRINAGAR, Nov 7: The routine work hasn't resumed in the premier Shri Maharaja Hari Singh (SMHS) hospital despite the fact that the cleanliness drive has been completed. It is the hospital which catered to the huge rush of the patients in the pre flood times but now the patients have to return disappointed from the this hospital. The busiest hospital in the pre flood times hasn't come to the terms despite the claims of the government that the hospital is fully functional. The flood has marooned this hospital so much so that the hospital is presenting a picture of the place haunted by the ghosts.
The attendants and the patients fail to get their problems addressed and most of the times return dejected.
Though the hospital has been cleared of the impurities but seemingly it will take a long while to bring the hospital on the track courtesy insincerity of the authorities. The scenes wherein the patients and the attendants are seen looking for the doctors are common these days and they wonder here and there with the authorities looking little bothered about the problems as faced by the patients there. "My sister namely Bilquees was admitted in the ward no. 5 of the hospital and as the water started occupying the hospital, we were sent home. Now as the health conditions of my sister worsened again and we went to the hospital to see the doctor and much to our surprise, we couldn't find any," said Mohammad Muzaffar from Bemina. Muzaffar said that one person at the hospital told us to go that way to see the doctor and the other one told us to go the other way looking for the doctor but after every effort we had to return our home without any success. An official of the hospital wishing no to be named said that the flood has devastated the hospital and it will take weeks to bring the hospital on the track. This official went on saying that the claim of the government that the hospital is fully functional is a mere eyewash otherwise the ground reality is altogether different.
"Though many departments of the hospital have partially resumes their work, but it will take a long time to attract the patients in great number which was a common experience before the flood.
The district hospitals provide much better facilities to the patients these days and that is why the rush of the patients is missing from the premier SMHS hospital these days," said a senior doctor wishing anonymity, while talking to the Early Times.
