False ceiling in Osmania General Hospital comes off, doctors send pics to mantri

Hyderabad: A large chunk of false ceiling fell down in Osmania General Hospital superintendent Dr Raghu Ram’s chambers at 6 am on Wednesday. Fortunately there was no one in the room as it was too early.

The administration staff were surprised to find the debris when they opened the chambers at 8 am for cleaning.

The Osmania General Hospital Telangana Association of Doctors took pictures of the fallen debris, prepared a report and sent it to the government.

The doctors have been pressing the government since the last two months to shift the hospital into a safer place.

But there is no furniture, equipments, beds and other infrastructure at the Petlaburj Maternity Home and this is stopping doctors from shifting patients.

A senior doctor on condition of anonymity said, “It was fortunate that there was no one in the room. What if a meeting was going on? The doctors can also be injured. We are worried about the lives of doctors and patients. So we prepared a report and sent it to the government.”
