In Agra, Uttar Pradesh, the attendants of pregnant women troubled by humidity and heat are reaching the hospital with fast fans from their homes. The AC of the ward has been out of order for a long time. The coolers are not working, the hospital administration is not able to get them repaired.
The hospital had received five ACs from the government for the convenience of pregnant women. Despite that, old and faulty ACs have been installed. The condition of the mother and child deteriorates due to the heat. The attendants who do hard labour due to compulsion are reaching with fast fans for their patients.
trouble with heat
My wife was admitted on Saturday. There were no arrangements in the ward to protect from the heat, due to which I was forced to bring a fan from home. -Arjun, Tajganj
Bought a fan on credit
My husband is a daily wage labourer. I did not have enough money to buy a fan. So I borrowed money and bought a fast fan. The heat was making my condition worse. The fan gave me relief. – Praveena, Fatehpur Sikri
AC is also bad
There is too much humidity in the ward and the fans and coolers are not giving any air. The AC is not working and there is more trouble. No one listens to us. -Ajit Singh, Achhnera
get the AC fixed
The faulty ACs in the wards of the hospital will be repaired. -Dr. Rachna Gupta, Chief Superintendent, Lady Lyall
