Veterinary Hospitals in Kothagudem Face Staff Shortages and Poor Conditions
In Kothagudem, there are not enough veterinary doctors, and many animal hospitals are in bad shape.
This makes it hard for farmers and pet owners to get help for their animals.
Some hospitals have leaking roofs and broken things, so the doctors can't work well.
Farmers have to buy medicine from private shops because the hospitals don't have enough.
The government is trying to fix these problems, but it's taking time.
Some areas have mobile clinics, but they can only do a little.
Farmers are upset because they can't get the help they need for their animals.
Kothagudem has 80 veterinary facilities, including 6 Area Veterinary Hospitals, 30 Primary Veterinary Centres, and 44 sub-centres.
Nearly 40 facilities, mostly sub-centres, are in dilapidated condition with leaking roofs and poor infrastructure.
Staff shortages, particularly Assistant Directors, are reported in Paloncha and Bhadrachalam.
Dairy farmers and pet owners complain about the shortage of medicines, forcing them to buy from private shops.
Mobile veterinary clinics are providing limited services in some areas.
