Bad road restricts visit to Linden Hospital
Bad road restricts visit to Linden Hospital
The road outside the state of the art Linden Hospital Complex is in such a deplorable condition at present, that several residents of the mining town are of the view that it would not be long before long boots become a prerequisite for anyone wishing to enter the compound.
And the current rainy weather has only made matters worse. “These nurses really great, because I can’t imagine how they manage to traverse this stretch of road without messing up their ‘whites’,” a vocal senior citizen observed.
Another man quipped, “I find it totally amazing that after spending so much money to build the hospital, no thought was given to building a proper access road!”
Senior citizens who visit the hospital to seek medical attention have said that they find it extremely difficult to avoid the many pools of water in the road.
Taxi operators who ply their trade around the hospital compound have also expressed total dissatisfaction with the state of the road.
“Is high time something is done about this road; this is ridiculous. We have a brand new hospital, but the road to enter the compound is deplorable. This is totally unsatisfactory.”
Meanwhile informed sources have indicated that the stretch of road outside of the hospital, which separates the new facility from the old one, was never budgeted for in either the 2010 or 2011 budgets.
The new Hospital was built at a cost of some $2bil. It was commissioned in December 2009.
