Hyderabad, Aug. 5 -- For a state-run healthcare centre that's one of Telangana's few major healthcare centres, Gandhi Hospital's waste management system is currently in a pathetic situation, and might even be a cause for concern for the local environ. Instead of being properly disposed, it is simply being thrown in its backyard for workers to collect.

Many often point fingers at the sad state of affairs at Osmania General Hospital (OGH), the other major government-run healthcare centre, but Gandhi Hospital is equally if not worse when it comes to infrastructure. For a place that was the nodal centre for COVID-19 cases in Telangana, bio-medical waste there is being simply dumped into a corner, instead of being treated properly.
