People forced to go to private hospitals
Hopeful patients coming to government hospitals for tests are facing a tough time as these hospitals either do not have the equipment or the devices are defunct. As a result, they are referred to other government hospitals that have the necessary equipment.
However, in some cases, patients are forced to shell out ₹2,000 to ₹5,000 for tests at private hospitals.
Since poor patients across the State visit hospitals in Hyderabad, doctors said that there is an urgent need to address the issue.
Some of the hospitals, which specifically attend to organ issues, too, lack crucial equipment. The Government General and Chest Hospital does not have CT scan, and Ultrasound equipment.
