Finally, garbage clearance at chest hospital in Peda Waltair Hospital complex

Vishakapatnam: The heaps of garbage accumulated over many days at the Peda Waltair Hospital complex were cleared on Tuesday. The complex houses government hospitals for chest and communicable diseases as also ENT and mental health.

Patients with TB, asthma and other chest disorders see an aggravation of their health condition due to garbage accumulation in their surroundings. The scenario at the hospital complex improved after Dr. R. Sunil Kumar filed a complaint and a report about this was published in Deccan Chronicle on October 20.

"Fence planning must be done and other initiatives should follow to prevent the people and shops from the use of open space for dumping trash and other wastes,” stated Dr. R Sunil Kumar of the Govt. hospital for chest and communicable diseases.
