Trouble at Rajkot Civil Hospital
Rajkot, March 11, 2025 – Rajkot Civil Hospital is under fire after allegations of Laliyavadi (delays) surfaced this week. Patients are reportedly suffering due to doctors arriving late, sparking frustration across the city. The claims have stirred debate about healthcare services in one of Gujarat’s busiest government hospitals.
Comedian Hakabha Gadhavi Speaks Out
Popular Gujarati comedian Hakabha Gadhavi didn’t hold back, sharing his pain over the issue. He took to social media to slam the hospital, saying patients are left waiting for hours because of tardy doctors. His emotional outburst has rallied public support, putting pressure on hospital authorities.
Patients Feel the Pinch
The core complaint? Doctors showing up late. People say they arrive early for treatment but end up stuck, sometimes missing critical care. A local patient told reporters, “We wait in pain while doctors stroll in whenever they want.” The delay is hitting the poorest the hardest, who rely on this free facility.
What’s Causing the Delay?
Insiders hint at staff shortages and poor scheduling behind the Laliyavadi. With over 400 patients daily, Rajkot Civil Hospital is stretched thin. Past reports of doctor strikes and controversies—like a 2015 patient-relative clash—suggest deeper management woes. Is this just the tip of the iceberg?
Public Anger Grows
Hakabha Gadhavi’s viral rant has lit a spark. On X, trending posts echo his anger, with some calling for a full investigation. Patients and families demand answers why can’t a major hospital like this get its act together? The spotlight’s now on officials to respond.
Hospital Yet to Reply
So far, Rajkot Civil Hospital bosses haven’t said much. They’ve faced heat before think the 2019 viral video of a doctor yelling at a patient. Will they brush this off as another storm, or step up? For now, patients wait, and the city watches closely.
