UP’s health services completely messed up: Akhilesh

Lucknow (IANS) | Samajwadi Party national Akhilesh Yadav has said that “Health services in Uttar Pradesh are completely messed up. The condition of hospitals is very pathetic. There is gross negligence in the treatment of patients.”

SP chief Akhilesh said in a statement on Saturday that “UP’s health system has completely collapsed. There are neither doctors nor medicines in the hospitals. Have to run away.”

Akhilesh said that “Uttar Pradesh’s health minister started raids soon after assuming office, but now he too has become overwhelmed, because even the officials do not listen to him due to the reduction in the departmental budget.”

He said that “Health services are bad in Prime Minister’s own Lok Sabha constituency Varanasi and Chief Minister’s home district Gorakhpur, so what can the people of the state expect from this government? Government hospitals themselves have become ill. Patients are being looted in the trap of touts.” “

He said that “the video of Rae Bareli hospital washing potatoes with feet for the patients to eat has gone viral. The dirty vegetable made from this potato is served to the patients and the timardars. Such is the bad condition of the hospitals under the BJP rule. “

The SP chief said that the best hospitals were built in Kannauj in the Samajwadi government, which would benefit the local people of Kannauj as well as the people of nearby districts, but the BJP government did not even provide doctors and medical facilities in the hospitals here. There is one doctor for 10,000 patients in the perfume city of Kannauj. Not even a single specialist doctor is posted. There is no eye doctor in 11 CHCs. The district hospital has only one female pathologist who is handling surgery as well as OPD. Local administrators do not feel the pain of pregnant women.

He further said that “the truth is that UP’s health services have gone on ventilators.”
