Kolhapur, Satish Sarikar : In the past few years, there have been radical changes in the medical field. Sophisticated machinery has only taken over the medical field. This machinery is also available in private hospitals in Kolhapur. Compared to that, there have been no changes in the municipal hospital, which was once a lifeline for poor patients. As a result, the health system of the municipal corporation is now on saline. Patients are on the way. The reality is that relatives of patients can do nothing but look on in despair.

As the financial condition is not enough to get medical treatment in private hospitals, workers and poor patients resort to municipal hospitals. But upon reaching this place, the patients who suffer from unbearable pain have no other option but to scream and wait for the doctor. There are wardboys but no doctors, doctors but no x-ray technicians, x-ray technicians but no films, sonography machines off, no medicines, etc. When crores of rupees are being spent on the health system from the funds of the state government and the municipal corporation, the relatives are asking why the patients are not getting any facilities.

Savitribai Phule Hospital, Panchganga Hospital and Isolation Hospital are the right hospitals for the 4,000 employees of the Municipal Corporation. Along with this, the urban primary health centers spread across the city also support thousands of other poor patients in Kolhapur city. So now the health system itself needs to be dosed. Municipal hospitals have state-of-the-art machinery worth crores. But they are left in the dust due to lack of technicians to operate them. For many treatments one has to depend on doctors who are on fee basis. Therefore, when patients go to municipal hospitals for treatment of various diseases, including pregnant women, they are not treated. Due to this, the patients and their relatives have to bear a lot of mental anguish.
