Chacha Nehru Hospital Faces Neglect
Chacha Nehru Children’s Hospital in Indore had a big makeover costing Rs 8.5 crore, but the old part of the hospital is still in bad shape.
There are empty liquor bottles lying around, not enough seats for people waiting, and the walls are peeling.
The security is not very good, and some staff members use their phones too much while working.
The hospital says they will fix these problems soon.
They also mentioned that the liquor bottles might have been left by construction workers.
The hospital has a lot of patients, nurses, and doctors, but the old building needs more care.
Chacha Nehru Children’s Hospital in Indore's old building shows signs of neglect despite a recent Rs 8.5 crore revamp.
Issues include littered liquor bottles, poor security, and peeling paint on walls.
The hospital's new wing is functional, but the old wing's remodeling is still in the planning stage.
Staff members have been observed using personal mobile phones during duty hours.
Authorities plan to address these issues, including increased security and infrastructure repairs.
