District Coordinator expresses dissatisfaction over Chirala Government Hospital

Chirala: The Andhra Pradesh Vaidya Vidhana Parishad (APVVP) district coordinator Dr S Usha inspected the Government Area Hospital in Chirala on Tuesday. She expressed dissatisfaction over the functioning of the hospital, and said that she observed recklessness in the behaviour of the hospital staff too.

She found fault with the hospital staff for not recommending the repairs of defunct machines and said that she is disappointed to find that X-Ray machine is not functional in the hospital.

She also conducted an inquiry of the corruption complaints received against the anaesthetist Dr Lakshmi Reddy from the Samajwadi Party district president Syed Babu and others. After the inquiry, she said that she will submit the report to the higher officials for further action.

However, the Chirala hospital staffs continued to show negligence even though the coordinator is inspecting the hospital. Due to the noncooperation of the hospital staff to provide a stretcher, a road accident victim was carried into the hospital by his aides.
