The practice of taking mobile phones, vehicle keys, or house keys as collateral for providing stretchers or wheelchairs at GMCH has finally been stopped from Thursday.

As a result, patients and their relatives can now easily access stretchers without any hassle. Earlier, relatives of patients were forced to deposit their mobile phones, two-wheeler keys, or house keys as security to obtain a stretcher at GMCH. This system has caused significant distress to patients and their families. Taking serious note of this issue, the hospital administration issued a written directive to the concerned staff, instructing them to immediately halt this practice. A strict warning was also issued to ensure such methods are not repeated in the future.
