Government Hospital or Private Nexus? Truth from Madhepura Medical College
This ground report from Kapuri Thakur Medical College in Madhepura, Bihar, by Witty Chokha, exposes the collapse of patient care and hospital management.
Emergency wards are overcrowded, essential medicines and diagnostic facilities are unavailable, and patients are routinely referred to private hospitals forcing poor families to spend beyond their means for basic treatment.
Locals describe extortion by middlemen, delays in CT scans and cardiology services, and frequent negligence by hospital staff. Despite being a government-funded medical college built with crores of public money, the institution fails to provide life-saving care or accountability.
Through raw visuals and emotional interviews, this investigative report questions why Bihar’s public healthcare remains broken, and who benefits from this system of referral and corruption.
The report stands as a powerful call for reform, demanding transparency, responsibility, and dignity for Bihar’s patients.
