There have been a lot of criticism about how government dealing with health care in India as well as corrupt malpractices in Medical and Paramedical education and services, but It might take decade to change the system and make it oriented towards public health.

Another Government Hospital in Ballia UP, India exposed where sweeper working as a doctor.
Uttar Pradesh's healthcare system stands exposed. After Bulandshahr, it is now a government hospital in Ballia, where a sweeper was found attending to patients in the emergency ward.
The sweeper, Rajkumar, was found administering stitches to patients in the emergency ward.
That's not all. Even the pharmacist was injecting patients. And there was no sign of a doctor anywhere.
When asked, all the Chief Medical Superintendent would say was that sweepers are not allowed to give injections, and that strict action would taken against those guilty.
"Sweepers are not allowed to treat patients. I condemn it if such practices are taking place in the Ballia Hospital," he said.
The sweeper Rajkumar, meanwhile, admitted that they administer stitches and injections to patients. And that they do it at the doctors' behest.
"I'm a sweeper at the hospital. When there are a lot of patients, I assist the doctor with stitches and injections," he says.
Clearly the cases at Ballia and Bulandhshahr may not be isolated. The fear is that UP's health services are just as bad and crumbling in other districts.

The poor state of healthcare services in a government hospital in Bulandshahr in Uttar Pradesh has been exposed. The hospital has 23 trained doctors but a sweeper was caught giving stitches to a patient. The video also shows a ward boy administering tetanus shots to another patient.
What's more shocking is that all this took place under the watch of the Hospital Chief Medical Officer. District health officials claim that the staff seen in the video are Operation Theatre attendants and not janitors.
Uttar Pradesh Health Minister Ahmed Hasan has now ordered a probe into the incident.
Chief Medical Officer SHS Danu said, "Sometimes there is a situation when there is nobody to attend to the patients, so they sometimes help with the distribution of medicines. I don't know whether sweepers give stitches to patients."
The incident raises certain big questions:
- Why didn't anyone stop the sweeper from treating the patient?
- Why was the Chief Medical Superintendent watching the sweeper play a doctor?
- How was a sweeper allowed to be present during treatment on the operation theatre?
- Where were the doctors when the sweeper was treating the patients?
