Niloufer Hospital is a big government hospital in Hyderabad that takes care of women and children.
Many patients come from Hyderabad and several other districts.
People who came with patients said the hospital is very crowded.
They said some patients had to share one bed because there were not enough beds.
One person said they waited many hours before their daughter could be admitted.
Some rooms did not even have working fans.
People also said the hospital was not as clean as it should be because of the crowds.
Most people said the doctors and the treatment were very good.
The person in charge of the hospital said there is no shortage of beds and that every patient gets proper care.
