Osmania Hospital’s Doctors Wear Helmets

The doctors at Osmania Hospital wore helmets and remarked the premises were unsafe. On Friday, they treated patients outside the hospital and demanded a repair of the century old structure.

The ancient building of the hospital is a threat to the life of the patients. In the last few months a lot of incidents where plaster fell from the ceiling injuring people. The doctors accused the Government of failing to maintain the historic structure. The Osmania Government Hospital Joint Action Committee (OGHJAC) resumed their strike against the Government for the construction.

There was a four month strike which was withdrawn after the Health Minister Laxma Reddy assured for new construction of the building. The assurance is all in vain as the doctors were forced to go back on strike.

The OGHJAC Chairman Pandu Naik told media sources that the Health Minister Laxma Reddy assured to lay the foundation stone for the reconstruction but it’s been three long months and nothing as such happened. He was also concerned about the situation and said, “Should we work taking an extreme risk?”

The doctors and staff are continuing the staged protest with a strategy of abstaining from work for an hour. The protest starts at 9:00 A. M., and ends at 11:30 A. M., every day but the Government seems unresponsive. The incidents till now have left 5 people injured.

According to sources, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) and Telangana State Medical Services and Infrastructure Development Corporation (TSMSIDC,) after examination, have declared the structure unsafe.
