A really sorry state of affairs. Healthcare is not only about the latest technology - it is often mostly about the small details like cleanliness, hygiene and a good, healthy ambience that ultimately leads to quicker and lasting recovery. It is also about providing a clean and quiet place so that patients can rest. I say this because, for some insane reason there was this carpenter using his power-saw in the corridor of Manipal hospital, not only creating noise, but also dust. Then there are cows and stray dogs creating nuisance in the area around the GMC hospital entrance at Bambolim, the hospital itself having been built so badly that there were no facilities for a wheel-chair the last time I went there, when I saw scrawled on the canteen wall "garbos rule here" (a garbo, in Aussie slang, is a garbage collector). I think Joe-GoaUK has posted some photographs of the filthy state of the pedestrian crossing at Bambolim. I wonder what the ex-GMC doctors on GoaNet have to say about the total degradation of Goa's healthcare in recent years. Gabriel.
