Tribal Man Carried 6 KM to Hospital Due to Healthcare Shortage

Tribal Man Carried 6 KM to Hospital Due to Healthcare Shortage

In a remote area of Kerala, a man got very sick with a high fever.

Because there aren't good roads, the local people had to carry him on their shoulders through the forest for a long distance.

This was so they could get him to an ambulance.

They walked for six hours to reach help.

The man is now in the hospital getting better.

This event highlights the difficult problem of not having enough doctors and hospitals in some areas, especially where roads are bad.

Sadly, this has happened before, even leading to the death of a child due to lack of timely medical help.
