In GMC, if an accident victim is brought to casualy, it seems even
a stretcher is not brought out to take him inside, unless one of the
relatives of the patients uses some contacts.
It seems that there is no avaiablity of basic things such as syringes,
and injections, or IV drip in GMC. All these have to be bought by
patients from private hospitals, and only then any treatment starts.
The reason is that while sophisticated x-Ray and other equipment are bought
by the authorities due to large commissions involved, these basic things
dont involve big commission and hence are not bought.
And now in Margao, a 400 bed hospital is being built to replace the Hospicio.
Again there is huge money in real-estate deals and construction, but
this building is going to be just a concrete structure with no
basic medicines available.
It is a big shame.
