Laxmi Devi Adhikari of Rupani Rural Municipality-2, Kataiya, Saptari admitted her husband, 65-year-old Motilal Adhikari, who was suffering from a cough, to Gajendra Narayan Singh Hospital, Rajbiraj for treatment.
As Motilal was coughing excessively, the doctor suggested that his sputum be tested to identify tuberculosis. Two days ago, 60-year-old Laxmi Devi reached the health office with a sputum sample.
After collecting the test report on Friday morning, she returned to the health office again in the afternoon to get medicine. However, Laxmi Devi, who has been to the health office three times, is upset by the foul smell spreading in the office premises. Laxmi Devi, who entered the office premises holding her nose, said, "I am tired of running around while my husband is sick. On top of that, I am worried that this foul smell will spread to another disease."
He is only a representative character who worries that the health office premises may become foul-smelling and may cause disease. Every day, 7/8 service recipients come here with sputum to be identified for tuberculosis. However, for more than two months, the office premises have been foul-smelling due to the 'liquid waste' of dialysis (waste filtered from the blood by the dialyzer machine). The foul smell is forcing service recipients to hold their noses to receive services, and this has increased concerns about the spread of disease among service recipients and the surrounding locals.
The health office has not been able to manage the 'liquid waste' generated from dialysis at Gajendra Narayan Singh Hospital even though it is flowing through the premises. It is mentioned in the letter sent to the hospital by the head of the health office, Dr. Satish Kumar Yadav, saying that the foul smell could have a negative impact on public health. However, the hospital has not stopped even after more than two weeks of the letter. Hospital information officer Dipendra Yadav said that a structure is being built to manage wastewater. "We will probably be able to manage it by Sunday/Monday," he said.
