Problems Aplenty at OU Health Centre
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: The Osmania University Health Centre, designed to provide essential healthcare to its faculty, students and staff, is caught in a cascade of operational issues that compromises its service quality. The centre’s problems intensified after its last permanent doctor retired on October 31, leaving the facility to be run entirely by contract staff, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other personnel. “Specialist doctors, mandated to visit thrice a week, often show up once or skip entirely, leaving us with few options but to go to Gandhi hospital or Tarnaka RTC hospital for emergency care,” said Nelli Satya, another research scholar. The bureaucratic structure further complicates matters, as the in-charge registrar must oversee all health centre operations, even routine approvals for staff leave, slowing down processes and affecting service quality.
