Banswara district shares its border with two states, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. The five illegal clinics on which the CMHO took action on Friday were all running in villages located on the border. Ambapura and Chotisarwan are on the Madhya Pradesh border and Padla Sajjangarh is a village on the Gujarat border. Most illegal clinics are running in villages located on the border. Many of these clinics work as counters of big hospitals of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. Patients are referred to these hospitals from here on commission. In such a situation, people suffer two-sided losses.
Firstly, there is financial loss for getting expensive treatment, whereas in Rajasthan, treatment of even major diseases is free. Secondly, by getting treatment in Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat, one is deprived of the schemes of the Rajasthan government. The medical department comes out to take action only on Holi and Diwali. Whereas if the racket is to be demolished, then continuous action will have to be taken. In the clinic of Chhoti Sarwan, the patient was being treated on a cot. The drip was hanging on a hook on the wall.
When Labana Clinic and Health Care in Chhoti Sarvan was inspected, the doctor Manish Labana had a homeopathic degree. But the medicines were found to be allopathic. Samples of medicines were also taken. Three beds were found here. No homeopathic degree was found either.
