Lack of Government Medical College in Vizianagaram district adding to misery of COVID-19 patients
The Hindu
The government general hospital is able to handle only 300 patients while more than 10,000 COVID-19 patients await treatment.
Poor medical infrastructure in the absence of government medical college is causing untold miseries to COVID-19 patients in Vizinagaram and other parts of the district. Successive governments ignored the establishment of a medical college in the district, which was formed on June 1, 1979. The four decades of negligence has now turned into a bane for patients who are forced to go to hospitals in nearby Visakhapatnam district. The existing government general hospital is able to accommodate only 300 COVID-19 patients when more than 10,000 persons have tested positive for the infection and await treatment.
