Reporter’s Diary: S Haryana’s govt hospitals await a check-up as well

Gurugram Civil Hospital basement flooded again despite ₹10 crore spent on renovation over six months, with no written list of completed repairs provided.

A senior doctor at Gurugram Civil Hospital allegedly referred a young patient to Delhi after the patient's reported death; a departmental probe is underway.

In Palwal, a Caesarean section was performed using a mobile phone flashlight during a power outage; an official inquiry found shortcomings in emergency power preparedness.

In Faridabad, a woman delivered her baby outside a government primary health centre after finding gates locked and no staff available; Haryana Human Rights Commission called it a 'grim' incident.

Flooded basements, leaking roofs, unattended waste, sewage overflows, and infrastructure failures recur across Gurugram, Nuh, Palwal, and Faridabad despite government reform promises.
