Street Feeding Causes Hygiene Issues at Gandhi Hospital
Near Gandhi Hospital in Hyderabad, many people gather to receive free food.
This has been happening for years, but now it's causing big problems.
Hundreds of people eat on the side of the road, which creates a lot of trash.
This trash attracts dogs and rats, which can enter the hospital and spread germs.
The hospital staff is worried about this because it can make patients sick.
They also say that the crowds block traffic and even ambulances.
The hospital suggests that the food should be given in special places like old-age homes instead of on the street.
The hospital itself is clean, but the area outside is not their responsibility.
They are also planning to improve their cleaning system inside the hospital.
Street feeding near Gandhi Hospital attracts large crowds, causing hygiene and safety concerns.
Food waste on roads attracts dogs and rats, increasing infection risks for hospital patients.
Crowds obstruct traffic and ambulance movement, particularly in the afternoons and after 7 pm.
Hospital officials suggest organizing food distribution at old-age homes or shelters instead.
Sanitation inside the hospital is managed by the Integrated Hospital Facility Management System (IHFMS).
