A young medical professional should always serve rural people. Because they have not been properly. In urban side everybody making healthcare sectors for business purpose and financial at most time. Then traveling as a village people its often difficult .

During my internship in the sub-district hospital in Sringar Garhwal, I closely observed the reality of healthcare in a government hospital. And honestly, it’s not that good. It’s very challenging for doctors and staff to maintain patient health during a serious emergency due to a lack of facilities in the hospital. But respect for doctors like Dr. S.P. Kalantri for becoming bakbone of these hospitals.
