A shocking revelation of the dilapidated state of health services has emerged from the Kundah Primary Health Centre (PHC) in Mahishi block, Saharsa district. MLA Gunjeshwar Sah conducted a surprise inspection of the PHC on Thursday, only to find the hospital locked at noon with all staff absent from duty. The MLA expressed deep dissatisfaction over this situation.

According to available information, MLA Gunjeshwar Sah had been receiving continuous complaints about irregularities and staff absenteeism at the Kundah PHC. To verify these complaints, he decided to visit the hospital himself. Upon arriving at the PHC in the afternoon, he found the main gate locked and no healthcare workers or other staff present inside. The hospital was completely deserted.

The MLA also spoke to local residents present at the scene, who stated that this was not a new occurrence. The hospital is often found locked during the afternoon or other scheduled times, leaving patients to wander without treatment. Villagers reported that doctors and staff do not regularly attend their duties, causing significant hardship for rural patients. They are forced to travel to distant private clinics or other hospitals even for minor ailments, wasting both time and money.

MLA Gunjeshwar Sah has strongly objected to this serious negligence. He stated that it reflects extreme indifference towards the healthcare system and plays with the lives of patients. Taking the matter seriously, he assured that he would speak with the Civil Surgeon and high-ranking officials of the district administration to ensure strict action against the negligent employees. He emphasized that such negligence would not be tolerated and every possible effort would be made to improve health services, ensuring better facilities for people in rural areas.
