Probe ordered after patient forced to lie on floor at Maha hospital

Jalna (Maharashtra), June 6 (UNI) Authorities have launched an investigation following the circulation of a viral video showing a patient lying on the floor at the district government hospital in Jalna, about 430km from Mumbai in the state's Marathwada region, due to a shortage of available beds, officials said on Friday.
The footage showed severe overcrowding and inadequate facilities at the 200-bed hospital. In the video, the patient is seen receiving intravenous fluids while lying on a mattress on the floor.
Suresh Yewale, a relative of the patient, said, “My relative was admitted here on Wednesday night after a road accident. Due to the unavailability of beds in the wards, nurses asked him to lie on a mattress on the floor while receiving IV fluids.”
Additional civil surgeon Dr Rajendra Gadekar said a probe has been initiated. “We have issued strict instructions that no patient should be made to lie on the floor. If no bed is available in the general ward, a cot must be arranged immediately. Appropriate action will be taken against those responsible,” he said.
