Plight of the patients and attendants at the hospital pathetic going by the report filed by Amicus Curiae, says CJ
Observing that the conditions at Government Maternity Hospital at Koti in the State capital were disturbing, Telangana High Court on Thursday directed the Principal Secretary of Health and Family Welfare to file an affidavit.
A bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Abhinand Kumar Shavili passed this direction while hearing a taken-up PIL petition on the conditions at the hospital. The bench also instructed the Principal Secretary to ensure all defects at the hospital were rectified by the date of next hearing.
Hearing the suo moto taken up PIL plea based on a newspaper report in 2016, the CJ said the plight of the patients and attendants at the hospital was pathetic going by the report filed by Amicus Curiae K. Kiranmayee. Referring to the earlier affidavits filed by the government departments, the CJ noted that it was projected as if everything was clean and going smoothly at the newly constructed building at the hospital.
