My name is Mohan Kashyap. I am calling from Jagdalpur. We have a Medical College hospital here where the situation is very grim. Most of the time there is no medicine in hospital so patients wander here and there. The place is so dirty that if a malaria patient comes to this hospital, they go back with a replace of malaria. A lot have been written about the situation in the local press but there is no action. Please help us. For more Kashyap ji can be reached at 08109450003
