Socked at the callousness of the Hospital authorities in Ranchi, the Capital of Jharkhand! If we trample people's sensibilities the day is not far off, when people's anger will subsume everything!!
Patient at Ranchi hospital served food on floor, staff say no plates
September 24, 2016 10:50
In one of the most disturbing visuals to surface in the middle of a debate over poor facilities in hospitals across the country, a patient eats straight from the floor of a hospital ward in Jharkhand capital Ranchi.
Palmati Devi, her right arm wrapped in bandage, ate her meal of rice, dal and vegetables from the floor on Wednesday. Ward boys allegedly first made her clean the floor, despite the fractured arm.
A patient at the orthopaedic ward, Palmati Devi didn't have her own plate and had asked for one, but was rudely told off by kitchen staff who said there were none at the large hospital that has an annual budget of Rs. 300 crore.
The man who served her food on the floor has been sacked and disposable plates have been commissioned.
