00:00What is the need for a health system in Gujarat and what do you have to say about it?
00:30There are 345 health centers in Gujarat and each health center has a population of around 55,000 people.
00:41Out of these 55,000 people, 1-2 lakh people reside in each health center.
00:47Out of the 345 community health centers, the government should have 4 super specialists.
00:57General Surgeon, General Physician, Gynecologist, and Pediatrician.
01:03This means that for women and small children,
01:09a general physician is required and a doctor like an M.D. or M.S. is required.
01:15According to the report given by the health department of this health center,
01:20according to the health statistics of 2022,
01:24there are 345 health centers in Gujarat.
01:28The situation is such that the number of doctors who are required,
01:34are not even sanctioned.
01:38If we talk about surgeons, there should be 345 surgeons.
01:45The government has only sanctioned 145.
01:49Out of which there are only 34 surgeons on duty,
01:54out of which 111 places are vacant.
01:57The community health center of Gujarat needs 311 surgeons.
02:04Similarly, if we talk about physicians,
02:08a doctor like an M.D. or M.S. is required.
02:12Out of the 345 community health centers in Gujarat,
02:17only 102 have been sanctioned.
02:20In reality, only 344 surgeons are required.
02:23Out of which only 50 doctors are on duty,
02:26out of which only one place is vacant.
02:29Out of which only 300 are required.
02:32There is a need for doctors and general physicians.
02:35In Gujarat, the number of children suffering from Chandipura disease has increased.
02:41More than 30 children have lost their lives.
02:44More than 30.
02:46The number is increasing.
02:48The government is trying to hide the number,
02:51as it has done during the pandemic.
02:54For the children of Gujarat,
02:56what is called a child specialist,
02:58is not in the community health center.
03:01In the community health center of Gujarat,
03:04344 pediatricians are required.
03:09Out of which only 76 have been sanctioned,
03:12and only 30 are on duty.
03:15Out of only 30 doctors,
03:18only 344 children of the community health center
03:22have lost their lives.
03:26Only 30 doctors have lost their lives.
03:29Only 344 pediatricians are required in the community health center of Gujarat.
03:36If we talk about gynecologists,
03:39only 85 gynecologists are required.
03:42I want to give this figure,
03:45as it speaks about the medical tourism hub of Gujarat.
03:49We saw during the pandemic,
03:52how the government,
03:55as it has become paralysed,
03:58has lost the lives of many innocent people.
04:04There were no medicines,
04:06no ventilators,
04:08and even then,
04:10the health system of Gujarat,
04:13has been affected.
04:16Not only that,
04:18even in the primary health center,
04:21there are less than 180 doctors.
04:24In the district hospitals,
04:26there are less than 133 doctors.
04:28In the sub-district hospitals,
04:31there are only 56 doctors.
04:34If we look at the figures,
04:37there are many shocking figures.
04:40The Gujarati Health Minister,
04:43who comes on TV often,
04:46calls out to the people,
04:49but the people of Gujarat,
04:52the people of the sub-district hospitals,
04:55are not worried at all.
04:58In the urban hospitals,
05:01there is more need to sanction.
05:04And in the rural hospitals,
05:07where there is a need,
05:10where from Dahod to Jamnagar,
05:13Sabarkata to Surat,
05:16there are many cases of Chandipura,
05:19then I will tell the government
05:22to put the correct figures on their website,
05:25so that people know
05:28how badly the government is running the health system.
05:31And we are putting our lives at risk.
05:34The places that are vacant,
05:37should be filled up immediately.
05:40And we have seen
05:43what kind of work the government does.
05:46The doctors who are supposed to work in the villages,
05:49we are talking about paying the bond,
05:52and some of the bonds are still pending.
05:55So we have seen this.
05:58But right now,
06:01when the lives of the people of Gujarat are at risk,
06:04when the lives of the children of Gujarat are at risk,
06:07when the disease like Chandipura is spreading,
06:10when more children are dying,
06:13then these specialist doctors are needed.
