Lucknow, 01 August (HS). Samajwadi Party (SP) national president and former chief minister Akhilesh Yadav has said that given the state of governance in Uttar Pradesh, there is absolutely no hope of improvement in the poor health system. The BJP government makes big claims but it cannot see the reality of hospitals. Patients are dying in agony. Innocents are dying without treatment. The BJP government has made a record of ruining the arrangements made by the Samajwadi government in public interest out of malice.
Many photographs have come in which relatives can be seen wandering with the patient due to non-availability of stretcher and bed. In Siddharthnagar, the father wandered in the hospital for 20 minutes carrying his daughter in his lap but still could not get a bed. Exhausted, she was made to lie on the floor. Health services have collapsed in the Chief Minister's home district itself. Patients are not getting stretchers in Gorakhpur AIIMS. Relatives are forced to bring the patients to the OPD by carrying them in their lap. Just a few days ago in Sitapur district, a middle-aged man died due to not getting a ventilator on time. After one and a half hours from Lucknow's KGMU, instructions were given to send him to Balrampur Hospital but the patient stopped breathing before reaching there.
News of doctors not sitting in OPDs on time is being published in newspapers continuously. Despite this, patients have to wait for hours and sometimes they do not even get to see the doctor. Expensive medicines are prescribed to poor patients. The government makes a lot of claims of running cheap medicine stores but not all medicines are available in such stores.
Nothing happened in the BJP government after the medical colleges were built during the SP government. Cancer is becoming a serious disease. The Samajwadi government had built a cancer hospital in Lucknow, but it is not being operated as it should be. 108 Samajwadi Ambulance Service was started to bring injured patients to the hospital. 102 Ambulance Service was started to help pregnant women and newborn babies. The BJP government has ruined all these services.
The truth is that in the last seven years, the BJP government has brought the health system in Uttar Pradesh to the abyss. The dilapidated system of the state is becoming fatal for the patients. The public will not rest until they oust the useless BJP government from power in 2027.
