DC’s initiative to modify the Government Hospitals is appreciating. Administration has to be set up for the proper utilization of the Government funds and benefits as it is mislead by the Hospital staff

whatever facilities are given most of them have the feeling that these Hospitals are usually meant for the poor. Even the hospital considers the same way. The doctors of the Government hospitals has his own private clinic which will effect the Hospital at times of emergency

It is the Hospital authority which misuses the benefit given by the Government . They are not properly provided to the public . Negligence of Doctors is more in case of Government Hospitals.
