'We are planning to hire more doctors'

India, Nov. 4 -- Why doesn't the hospital fix defunct machines instead of forcing patients to get tests done in private labs? In a government set-up, everything has to be made available free of cost.

Most people who come to government hospitals can't afford private treatment. It's not a correct thing to make them purchase medicines or get tests done from outside the hospital.

The medical superintendent (MS) should ensure everything should be made available in-house. Any plans to deal with staff shortage? We're planning to hire more doctors, paramedics and other staff to lower the doctor-patient ratio.

The problem is the number of people visiting the hospital increases each day - more so because it caters to patients from Ghaziabad and other western Uttar Pradesh districts, but the facilities have remained the same. Why is there no separate entry and exit points in the H1N1 screening room?.
