Kurnool: Kurnool General Hospital, well known for its quality treatment and dedicated services by eminent doctors, is now drawing the wrath of the patients in wards. Every day, hundreds of patients from different places of the district visit the hospital in addition to those from Telangana and Karnataka states. Several sensitive cases are being treated here. But the problem that is hunting the hospital is lack of toilets at wards.
Super Specialty block consisting of five departments like Cardiology, Urology, Neurology, Nephrology and Cardio Thoracic deal with sensitive cases. Particularly heart patients would undergo heart surgeries, open heart surgeries and stunting. The patients who undergo these kinds of surgeries need to walk slowly and attend wash rooms as and when required. But this block has no proper toilet facilities to the patients.
In particular the Urology ward situated at the ground floor where women patients would get admitted for treatment is facing lots of problems in the absence of toilets. The seven bedded women ward is not provided with toilet. The women patients here have to use the toilet at Nephrology ward situated quite opposite to Urology.
The Nephrology ward is having only one toilet where men and women have to use it. The toilet is not even provided with lighting facility with which it is a horrifying situation during night times especially to women.
If the patients could not use the toilet facility at Nephrology have to take steps to first floor. The patients undergoing treatment after admitting in Urology ward are experiencing nightmarish experience. A toilet has been provided to Urology but was seen locked all the time.
A patient Venkatamma of Amma Ashramam in Kurnool, admitted in Urology ward said to The Hans India that there is no bathroom facility in the ward. Aged people like me have to take pains to go out or take steps to attend the nature call. Even for urinate, we have to go out all the time. She urged the hospital authorities for the construction of toilet for women patients.
