Osmania Hospital : Nursing patients or dogs?

Osmania General hospital – one of the oldest and biggest government hospitals in Telangana is becoming a home for stray dogs. Especially the general ward became a breathing place for these dogs as 15-20 of them make that ward as their second home.

Nobody dare to stop them as they keep coming in groups and creating nuisance like getting on to the beds, pulling away the saline drips and sometimes trying to attack the patients. Patients claim that this menace becomes even more at nights and staff bothers least about them.

The hospital premises are often smeared with human blood and such insanitary conditions at the hospital bring the stray dogs there. A former corporator Amjed Ullah Khan on Friday filed a petition with the State Human Rights Commission regarding the dog menace and the danger it poses to the patients.
