Petlaburj Maternity Hospital staff allegedly harasses patients, attendants for bribe

Hyderabad : Bribe giving has become a new normal in government hospitals. It’s almost impossible to get treatment without paying bribes.
In the wake of the Niloufer Hospital incident, there are many complaints being received in old city’s Petla Burj Maternity Hospital of  hospital staff harassing the patients and their attendants by preventing them to have access to the doctors If Bribe is not paid to the cleaning staff they do not clean the patient’s ward which could be perilous to the health of patients and children Many complaints were lodged against this inhuman treatment of the Hospital staff but no actions have taken against them.  Hospital authorities’ refrain is that if the staff do not perform their duty how could the Hospital function and render its services.   Thus these illegal acts are being ignored. Overlooking this illegal conduct of the staff is becoming the compulsion of the hospital administration.  The fourth-grade staff realizes that they are indispensable for the functioning of the hospital and hence they do not correct their unethical behaviour in extorting money from the patients and their attendants.
