One investigation is not the answer. Well-planned methods include teams fanning out in different areas to check out facilities at different hospitals everywhere. Lacunae if any, has to be categorised as mild or serious. This has to be filled in quickly and quality replacements that stand the test of time, are modern and will do the job. There are also a number of factors like light, air, hygiene and equipment that have to be considered. There are several facilities where waiting areas are extremely sub-standard and very dirty. We are not even getting into the patient areas, just those outside which see families of those admitted waiting.

These too need to be very clean as there is always danger of infection. It is disappointing that when we seem to be zooming into a hi-tech age and tout progress attained in certain areas, we are lacking in some extremely fundamental healthcare or are very slipshod about it. Go beyond a solo inquiry and spread the net wide, so that we see a real upgrade in the centres that need it and save people’s lives. Every life matters.
