NAGPUR: The scene in general wards, outside operation theatres (OTs) and ICUs at both the government medical colleges in the city on Monday was in sharp contrast to what they generally look — jampacked. Most of the wards at IGGMCH’s surgical complex didn’t have any patient while only a few — considered to be emergency cases — remained admitted in orthopaedic and surgical wards.
Similarly, GMCH had fewer patients with many beds lying vacant in different wards. Manohar Bende, a resident of Sausar in Madhya Pradesh, had packed his belongings to make a move from IGGMCH. “My son’s operation has been thrice put off now. I am now taking him to a private hospital. He has multiple fractures,” said Bende.
