In latest Uttarakhand news, despite the State government claiming that the condition of the government-run health facilities looking up, the hapless patients are still being forced to be admitted at the private facilities. Such a case has surfaced as a patient identified as Dharamveer Singh (56) got admitted at the government hospital in Rishikesh with complaint of severe stomachache. Ultrasound was done on him on August 9. As the report revealed everything was normal, the doctor who was treating him failed to fix the source of his stomachache. However, as the patient’s stomachache persisted, he got admitted at a private facility. When the ultrasound was conducted again on him presence of stones in his stomach was found. Then the patient underwent surgery at the private facility and he is fine now.
Observers say that this confirms the fact that the pathological reports prepared at the laboratories of the government-run facilities can hardly be relied upon.
