A Video Of Dogs On Hospital Beds:
The hospital is reportedly affiliated with Gonda Medical College. Last week also, a video of rats roaming inside a ward in the same hospital surfaced online.
According to a report by Aaj Tak, the video of dogs sleeping on the hospital bed is from the same time when the video of rats were seen running on oxygen pipes surfaced.
Authorities have taken cognisance of both the videos and ordered an investigation into the matter. However, both these videos highlighted medical apathy and negligence by the hospital staff.
A Video Of Rats Inside Ortho Ward:
Meanwhile, a team from Uttar Pradesh’s Department of Medical Education visited the medical college in Gonda district on Sunday (January 18) after the video of rats scurrying inside the hospital went viral on the internet.
The team arrived on the directions of Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak, and carried out a detailed inspection of cleanliness, patient facilities and overall arrangements in various wards of the medical college, officials said, as reported by PTI.
Following the video, several opposition leaders, including Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav, raised questions over the condition of the medical college.
Director (Medical Care) Dr Sandeepa Srivastava, who led the team, said the state government had directed them to visit the medical college and submit a report on the entire incident.
