Solution
- Aman had to wait in a long queue at the OPD counter and blood testing room.
- He got the blood test results after three days and then went back to the hospital to consult the doctor. Thus, he faced a lot of hardship in the hospital.
If the number of counters and doctors will be raised and the management of some of its services like cleanliness (safari), and diagnostic tests such as blood tests, stool and urine tests, x-ray, ultrasound, etc. are handed over to the private bodies, the hospital can work in a better manner.
