Last Sunday, I got a call from the Anjaneya temple checking if I am ready for my next blood donation. I went yesterday to Kilpauk Medical College Blood bank ( a Govt . hospital in central chennai) . From the morning, i had 2 to 3 calls from the patient ( Radha)'s husband. I had to reassure him that i will be ontime before 1 pm when the blood bank closes. Radha is from Nellore in Andhra and had to undergo a major surgery in her right hand. Her husband who works a cook there had to leave his job and come to chennai to get his wife treated at the Govt. hospital here as he could not afford the expenses at Nellore hospital.
While I was personally satisified with another blood donation, the cleanliness at the hosiptal was not to the expected level & even inside the blood bank. I had watched a program on NDTV HINDU over the weekend at the plight of the Govt. Hospitals in chennai and here I was personally experiencing some of it.
Considering the cleanliness, I felt more comfortable donating at the Vijaya Hospital and ESI ( another Govt hospital closer home).
Some questions ( unanswered though )
Can't Govt. hospitals be made more clean / hygenic ?
Blood collection should happen in a far more cleaner / healthy environment
