Shocking: Doctor on leave, ward boy working as doctor and pharmacist
Barabanki: A ward boy can be a doctor and a pharmacist as well...!!!!
In a District Hospital of Uttar Pradesh's Barabanki, a ward boy is solely running the hospital as the appointed doctor allegedly visits the hospital once in 10-15 days. The local public of the Barabanki alleged that the ward boy not only looking patients and running the hospital, the one is also performing the role of the pharmacist.
The hospital in the very bad condition. The basic amenities like fans, lights, etc.
The hospital was built during the previous government’s tenure to provide free healthcare to the villagers living nearby, the locals now are wary of even visiting the hospital.
When the media person contacted the three patients who were admitted there, they informed News18, “We have never seen the doctor here. People claim she visits once in a fortnight. The pharmacist is also mostly absent. The ward boy runs this place,”
