The case highlights the dire conditions in Chhattisgarh, where a sick person had to be carried on the shoulders of family members to reach the hospital due to the absence of roads and ambulances. The incident took place in the Sarguja district’s Pratapur area, specifically in Gorgi village. A member of the Kodaku tribe, living in the remote forest region, fell ill, and his condition worsened. The lack of proper infrastructure forced the family to carry the patient on their shoulders over several kilometers to reach the nearest medical facility. The family members, visibly exhausted, carried the patient, hoping for timely medical intervention. The incident sheds light on the struggles of thousands of people who still lack access to fundamental facilities. This situation raises serious questions about the efficacy of the healthcare system and the government’s commitment to providing basic services.
