Babu Banarsi Das District Hospital

Three days after the shocking story of sweepers and ward boys treating patients at a hospital in Uttar Pradesh came to light, the state government has finally swung into action. The Chief Medical Superintendent (CMS) of the Babu Banarsi Das District hospital in Bulandshahr has been removed.

A video clip of a sweeper in a green shirt giving a young boy stitches at a Bulandshahr government hospital has shocked many. But apparently, the Health Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Ahmad Hasan, is not among them. The minister merely says too many emergencies at the hospital resulted in attendants doing the job of doctors.

In a hospital in one of Uttar Pradesh's most backward areas, a man in a green shirt gives a young child stitches on his leg. The "doctor" is a sweeper at this government hospital.
