Malpractices at Goa Medical College Puts Patients in Danger

Date: 2013-04-05

There is trouble brewing in the wards of Government Medical College, the biggest government hospital in Goa. The nurses and other staff have been neglecting their basic duties towards the patients. They have putting the patients and relatives through fear, and trauma by forcing and bullying the relatives to administer complex tasks like administering insulin injections to diabetic patients without adequate training. 

The family of Video Volunteers' North Goa correspondent Sulochana and her family survived more than two weeks in this healthcare hell as her diabetic uncle recuperated from spinal surgery in ward no. 108 of the GMC. Sulochana is now on crusade to ensure that no else has to go through what her family has faced. 

She shared her story with us...

Call to Action: "I request you to call Medical Superintendent of GMC Dr. Sunanda Amonkar on 08322495010 and make a demand to stop the practice of forcing the patient's relatives to administer tests and injections."

"It is not only against the rules but also puts the life and well being of the patients in danger."

"I request you to be aware of you rights and responsibilities the next time you or your loved one is admitted in a government hospital."

"Thank you."
