No Reagents, Open-Heart Surgeries Stopped In Chhattisgarh's Largest Government Hospital

Reagents, which are used in tests before and during the surgery, are in short supply at the hospital in Raipur, the capital of one of the most impoverished states in the country
In a concerning development, the largest government hospital in Chhattisgarh has stopped open-heart surgeries for four months due to shortage of reagents. This has left many economically weaker patients in Chhattisgarh's Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar Hospital in huge trouble, forcing them to seek expensive private healthcare.
Reagents, which are used in tests before and during the surgery, are in short supply at the hospital in Raipur, the capital of one of the most impoverished states in the country.
The poor who depend on government healthcare are at the receiving end of this crisis.
