Hyderabad: Senior BRS leader and Siddipet MLA T Harish Rao has come down heavily on the Congress government over continued power outages across Telangana, slamming it for endangering patient care in public hospitals.
Sharing a shocking video of Zaheerabad Area Hospital on X, Harish Rao said over 300 patients were being treated in near-darkness due to a power cut and a defunct generator. He said doctors were forced to continue treatment using mobile phone torchlights, a situation he described as “deplorable and inhuman.”
“If this is the condition at a key government hospital in Zaheerabad, what must rural hospitals be going through?” he asked, questioning the administration’s priorities.
Rao accused the state government of administrative paralysis for over a year and a half, claiming that essential services were collapsing. “Healthcare access for the poor is vanishing. Chief Minister Revanth Reddy should stop showboating and start providing basic facilities,” he said.
ఒకవైపు కరెంట్ కోతలు, మరోవైపు ఆసుపత్రిలో ఉన్న జనరేటర్ పని చేయదు. చివరకు సెల్ ఫోన్ లైట్ వెలుతురులో చికిత్స చేయాల్సిన దుస్థితి.
300 పైగా పేషెంట్లు వచ్చే జహీరాబాద్ ప్రభుత్వ ఏరియా ఆసుపత్రి పరిస్థితి ఇలా ఉంటే, గ్రామీణ ప్రాంతాల్లో ఉండే ఇతర ఆసుపత్రుల పరిస్థితి ఎలా ఉన్నట్లు.
