Amidst the chaos and long queues prevailing in the city’s government hospitals, Jawaharlal Nehru (Gas Relief) Hospital has emerged as a well-managed alternative. ‘The Hitavada’s’ ground report reveals that the functioning of this hospital is more systematic compared to other government centers, ensuring that patients do not have to face unnecessary trouble for treatment. Separate queue system for pregnant women and the elderly The most significant improvement in the hospital is the administrative setup made for the convenience of patients. Here, all doctors are present in their cabins at the scheduled time, so patients do not have to wait for hours for consultations. All medicine distribution counters remain fully operational. Additionally, a special queue system has been arranged for pregnant women and the elderly so that they do not face any inconvenience during treatment. A clear guidance system is also available in the hospital for patients to reach the respective departments. Quick testing and patient feedback The process of X-ray and pathology testing in the hospital is significantly faster compared to other Government hospitals.

 

During the ground report, Naseer, a resident of Karond, who came for his treatment, stated that he took very little time for treatment here and medicines were also easily available. Other patients present there also confirmed that due to better management of the hospital, their treatment gets completed in less time and they do not have to face unnecessary trouble. Furthermore, the level of cleanliness in the hospital premises was also found to be satisfactory. Available medical services In terms of medical facilities, the availability of specialists in Gynecology, Pediatrics, Ophthalmology, and ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) is ensured here. Additionally, a dedicated center for the prevention of Tuberculosis (TB) is also functional here, where patients are getting regular consultation and treatment facilities. The facilities being provided to patients at Jawaharlal Nehru (Gas Relief) Hospital can be seen as a well-organised part of the city’s government medical system. These efforts made by the hospital management, keeping in mind the time and convenience of the patients, are a significant step towards ensuring the smooth availability of health services.
