It is the priority of every government to provide health services to the common citizens. Change of government is a continuous process. It is a social and legal crime to create conflict in people’s minds and keep them away from medical services. The administration should be alert to such false rumors while refraining from such social crimes and providing proper and better quality services to the patients.”
