Patients are not being treated properly in SIMS

Bilaspur. During the hearing of the PIL filed on the poor condition of SIMS Hospital, the High Court was told that most of the doctors here take interest in private practice and do not pay attention to the patients.

Also, there is no work culture here. It is noteworthy that High Court Chief Justice Ramesh Sinha has taken suo motu cognizance of the conditions prevailing in SIMS Hospital and has taken a PIL in his court, which is being heard continuously.
In Thursday’s hearing, the report prepared after inspection by court appointed court commissioners Surya Kawalkar Dangi, Sangharsh Pandey and Apoorva Tripathi was presented.

It has been said that after the instructions of the High Court, there has been a lot of improvement in the SIMS system. The sanitation situation improved and for the first time, debris was removed from the drains that had been clogged for years.
