In Gola Gokarnath of Lakhimpur Kheri, not just one or two but several dozen illegal hospitals are being run in a substandard manner. Degree holder doctors are hardly found in these fake hospitals but the names of many big MBBS doctors are written on the boards of such hospitals. Even the names of a few selected MBBS doctors can be seen on the boards of not just one but many hospitals.
Due to the poor working style of the medical department as well as the strong nexus between fake hospital management and ASHA workers, dozens of such hospital managements are flourishing. The owners of such fake hospitals have become fully adept at making huge wealth by making deals with ASHA workers.
Even after being sealed, the hospital would have started operating again in a new building
Fake hospitals are being operated in Gola Nagar every day, although action is taken against such hospitals by the medical officers, but some people deceive the medical officers and after the hospital is sealed, they start operating the hospital again by changing its name in another building. Let us tell you that the hospital operating on Lakhimpur Road under the name of Madhu Hospital has been sealed twice before, yet it is being operated again for the third time by changing the location.
Driver addicted to commission becomes owner of fake hospital
Some other hospital management people of the city told on the condition of anonymity that the owner of this hospital used to be a driver. One day he went to drop a patient to a hospital in his four-wheeler and in return he got a commission of Rs. 2000. From that day onwards the driver realized that there is a lot of profit in this business and due to this he gradually reduced the number of passengers being carried and started taking pregnant women to hospitals for delivery.
The driver got a chance to work in many hospitals
When the driver started transporting many pregnant women to the hospital in a month, seeing his work many hospital owners gave the driver a job in their hospital, but the driver gradually learnt how to run the hospital and soon became the owner of a fake hospital.
