Documented by Goa Desc Documentation Service & circulated by Goa Civic & Consumer Action Network (GOA CAN)<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Ph:2252660 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ Pathetic Health Centres ------------------------------------- While it may be true that the health system in Goa is better than in the rest of the country, the government health centres in the states are in a pathetic state.
Just visit the Goa Medical College hospital these rainy days to get an idea of the situation in the health centres. These places seem to have gone to the dogs. No wonder, one can find all sorts of animals walking the corridors.
No efforts are made by the government to fill up vacant posts of medical and paramedical staff when the situation demands it.
We are deluding ourselves that we are living in the best state in India when basic amenities like healthcare needs to be improved.
Unless the government actually conducts regular on-the-spot inspections of all the health centres and undertake low-cost corrective measures promptly, these places will only deteriorate further.
