Karnprayag Protest Exposes the Sorry State of Healthcare in Uttarakhand.
Dehradun/Karnprayag: The ongoing protest in Karnprayag district of Uttarakhand has once again brought to light the pathetic state of healthcare facilities in remote mountainous region.
The people of Simli, a small town in Karnprayag, staged march in the twon demanding a better hospital
The current healthcare system is virtually non-existent—there are no facilities, no doctors, and patients are merely shuffled from one hospital to another as if they were burdens.
Recently, a pregnant woman from Bageshwar was referred first to Almora and then to Haldwani, where a doctor finally performed a normal delivery.
This incident has highlighted the severe deficiencies in Uttarakhand's healthcare system, raising questions about why proper care is only provided after patients have been needlessly transferred across long distances.
The protest in Karnprayag is a wake-up call to the administration and local representatives, who seem more concerned with their own allowances than with the welfare of the people.
The citizens are demanding answers and action, as they are tired of being ignored.
The availability and quality of healthcare services are crucial indicators of a society's development. Every citizen has the right to access proper healthcare, but the situation in Uttarakhand's mountainous regions is alarming. In the past 24 years, no government has succeeded in improving these conditions.
The people of Karnprayag are now asking how much longer they will have to suffer this neglect.
The protesters in Simli are determined not to back down. They have made it clear that if their demands are not met, the movement will only grow stronger.
The government of Uttarakhand must address this pressing issue and take concrete steps to improve healthcare services in the hill areas, or this wave of discontent could spread across the entire state.
