Chhattisgarh’s Healthcare System Under Scrutiny After Family Carries Patient on Shoulders

The healthcare system in Chhattisgarh is under scrutiny following an incident in Sarguja district, where a sick person was carried by family members on their shoulders to reach a hospital. The lack of roads and ambulance services in the Pratapur area, specifically Gorgi village, forced this action. The patient, a member of the Kodaku tribe, required urgent medical attention. The family’s plight highlights the challenges faced by those living in remote areas without access to essential services. The family was seen carrying the patient, desperate for medical care, which raises questions about the state of healthcare accessibility. This incident underscores the importance of addressing infrastructure deficits and ensuring that basic healthcare services are available to all citizens, regardless of their location.
