In democratic society education and medical treatment are minimum responsibilities of the Government’s but Chandrababu government is desperately trying to come out of that responsibility.

Chandrababu is intentionally reducing the funds to Government Hospitals with which the hospital activities are weakening. The patients were deeply suffering as they are not getting proper treatments. They are planning to put aside the medical equipment in government hospitals. In total Rs.500 crores worth of medical equipment is in place, in Medical Colleges Rs.375 crores, in Vidhan Parishad Hospitals Rs.65 Crores and in Public Health Department Rs.60 Crores. Of this Rs.200 crores worth of equipment is dumped aside without using.

It is heard around that this entire stunt is to slowly give away these hospitals to private sectors. Already the medical shops were given to private parties in phases. Later, Diagnostic Laboratories were also given away to private. From Blood Test to MRI test everything has gone to private hands. With this, only people with money were able to afford medical treatment in Government Hospitals. In the meanwhile maintenance of the medical equipment is also been given away to private institutions. Like this all the medical services are going into private hands.

On one side, the government is giving away the government hospitals to corporates for setting up medical colleges. The Chittoor Government Hospital was already given to Apollo Hospitals and some more hospitals will also follow the same route. Totally, the Government Medical System is going into the hands of private institutions.
