On Monday, Riti Pathak, an MLA from the ruling BJP in Madhya Pradesh, publicly criticized her own government during a session of the State Assembly. She expressed serious concerns about the shortages of doctors and the inadequate healthcare facilities in her district as well as throughout the state.

Speaking on the last day of the current budget session, the MLA from Sidhi district brought to light several shortcomings in the state’s healthcare system, particularly those affecting her constituents.

She pointed out that the Sidhi district hospital has only 12 specialist doctors when it actually needs 37. Furthermore, six medical officer positions are unfilled, worsening the already challenging healthcare conditions in the district.

Pathak pressed the government for accountability and urged them to disclose their plans for improving medical services in Sidhi, which has a considerable tribal population. She emphasized the stark contrast between the healthcare available in Rewa, the home district of Deputy Chief Minister and Health Minister Rajendra Shukla, and the inadequate services in her neighboring Sidhi district.

Senior Congress MLA and former Leader of the Opposition, Ajay Singh, who represents the Churhat constituency in Sidhi, echoed Pathak’s concerns, bringing attention to the declining health services in the area.

Earlier, during the Question Hour, Congress MLA Pratap Grewal criticized the government for its failure to uphold healthcare standards in Madhya Pradesh. Referring to the 2024 report by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG), Grewal noted that the state’s healthcare system is in turmoil. He questioned the efforts of the BJP government in tackling this issue, alleging that numerous doctor positions remain vacant and that many health facilities own ambulances but lack drivers.

In response, State Health Minister Rajendra Shukla assured the assembly that the government is actively addressing the doctor shortage with plans to resolve it by October and enhance healthcare services across the state. He mentioned that recruitment for the vacant doctor positions is already underway and that initiatives to improve overall healthcare infrastructure in Madhya Pradesh are in progress.
