A hospital (both private and public) is supposed to be a health care institution providing patient’s treatment by specialised staff and equipment. I’m sure we would all like to believe that all or at least most hospitals are largely staffed by professional and competent physicians, surgeons, and nurses. But is this the case in Public Hospitals?
The government knows that the nurses in public hospitals are overworked due to ever increasing number of patients, salaries don't match the workload and the budget given to purchase supplies is not enough and that affects the quality of care provided by government nurses amongst other issues. Are these enough reasons for health care facilities to be dirty and unhygienic? Does it give the nurses the right to laze around whilst people are dying because salaries don't match the workload? Do patients deserve to be treated badly because they can't afford private hospitals?
I ask myself, why did these doctors’ and nurses study to help people, only to get there and not? Are people’s lives worth playing the blame game between the government and public hospital staff?
