Bhopal’s healthcare system seems to be surviving on mere luck, and this isn’t a political accusation but a reality revealed through a viral video. The footage, filmed at Hamidia Hospital affiliated with Gandhi Medical College, has taken social media by storm.

It shows a patient being moved from one building to another by a family member on a hospital bed, with no staff in sight. As they approach a slope, the bed tilts dangerously, putting both the patient and the relative at serious risk.

This distressing scene exposes the state of the public healthcare system. The patient is seen being wheeled from one ward to another under the open sky, without the support of any healthcare worker, making it appear less like a hospital and more like a mockery of medical care. After the video went viral, social media erupted with outrage, with many sarcastically dubbing the scene “Bhopal’s open-air therapy."

Public Outcry And Political Reactions

The person who recorded the video mockingly remarked that Bhopal offers patients fresh air, a trolley ride, and savings on transport. However, behind the joke lies the grim reality of a failing health infrastructure. As public anger grew, opposition leaders also stepped in to criticise the government.

Former Congress MLA Shailendra Patel questioned the state of Madhya Pradesh’s healthcare system, saying, “If this is the condition of the biggest hospital in the capital, one can only imagine the situation in other parts of the state." He called for a swift investigation and strict action against those responsible.

Despite promises to improve healthcare, such incidents show how development often remains confined to paperwork. For a city like Bhopal, the capital of a major Indian state, such scenes are not only shameful but deeply concerning.
