Kishoreganj Sadar Hospital is passing a dire state in account of the patient’s service. Every day, thousands of people from different areas came to Kishoreganj 250-Bed General Hospital to get medical services but they became disheartened.

There is no department including emergency where the crowds of the people are not seen. But most of the medicines written in the prescriptions are to be bought from the outsider shop. Especially the costlier medicine has to be bought from the outside and it is mandatory. Scarcity of the medicine becomes the daily affair.

Most of the middle and lower income people are got admitted themselves in the hospital. As the emergency patients came to the hospital, they are asked to buy the first aid medicines from the outside. 

Visiting the place it was seen that most of the patients are prescribed about 3-4 medicines where 1-2 medicines are provided from the hospital.  The victims said that, most of the medicines are to be bought from the outside. 

There is no list of what to be tested of the pathology department. Shyamoli Rani Das, who worked in the Pathology Department, said that there was a list in front of the wall, may be someone tore up it. 

Responding to a question about RBS, HBSAG, VDRR test, she said that after burning the store room, almost all the re-agents that used for those test got spoiled. We gave the requisition to the authority and they assured to provide it soon, she added.

There are no crowds in front of the diagnosis room although there are the patient’s crowds in front of the doctor's room, starting from the hospital's ticket counter.

Kakali Akhtar, Panna, Sanjana, Kajli, Goldlie government, and Selina, who took medicines from pharmacy, have been told to talk with the low-cost medicines or from the hospital, expensive medicines have to be bought from outside.

Md Shafiqur Rahman, pharmacist of Kishoreganj 250-bed General Hospital, said that they are unable to provide all the medicines because of the shortage of supply.

Dr Sultana Razia, caretaker of Kishoreganj 250-bed general hospital, did not agree to comment over phone when she was contacted.
