Huge Amount Left Idle in Public Ledger
Pune’s renowned Sassoon General Hospital is facing sharp criticism after revelations that Rs. 12 crore remain unused in its public ledger. The funds, which were meant for patient welfare, medical facilities, and infrastructure upgrades, have sparked outrage among citizens and activists.
Concerns Over Patient Care
Despite the availability of funds, patients continue to complain about inadequate medical facilities, lack of equipment, and shortage of essential medicines. Health activists argue that the hospital’s failure to utilize these resources is directly affecting the quality of treatment and patient care.
Accountability Questions Raised
The revelation has led to growing calls for accountability from both the hospital administration and state health authorities. Activists are demanding a transparent inquiry into why such a significant sum remains untouched while the hospital struggles with day-to-day needs.
Public Reaction and Demands
Local citizens and social organizations have condemned the negligence, urging authorities to immediately allocate the funds for improving infrastructure, hiring medical staff, and ensuring affordable treatment for poor and underprivileged patients.
Government’s Next Step
State health officials have assured that the matter will be investigated and corrective measures will be taken. However, until clear action is seen, the public continues to express deep dissatisfaction with the hospital’s management practices.
