AGARTALA, Dec 1 (TIWN): Health Officials of Unakoti District faced massive criticism from patients and their relatives over poor hospital facilities after they came to inspect the District hospital. The incident took place on Tuesday at Unakoti District Hospital in Kailasahar.

This district hospital has been plagued with various problems for a long time. Especially in the hospital, there is no water or drinking water for the patients to use for a long time. In addition, hospitalized patients are provided with inedible cooked food daily. The hospital is not cleaned regularly. As a result, there is a strong stench inside the hospital. In addition, the toilets and bathrooms inside the hospital have been unusable for several years due to lack of renovation. 

The superintendent of the district hospital, Dr. Soumendra Debbarma said that despite several written and verbal notifications to the higher officials, including the head of the health department, the department was not taking any effective action. The people of the entire Unakoti district are very angry about this issue of the district hospital. 

State Health Department Official Quality Consultant Dr. Anirban Hod visited Unkoti District Hospital. And as soon as the inspection of the hospital started with the other staff of the hospital including the superintendent of the district hospital, the relatives of the patients got angry and surrounded the officer.
