A prominent public healthcare institution handles a large number of patients daily. The average patient footfall is 14,000-15,000, with more patients visiting on Mondays and Thursdays. This high volume puts immense pressure on the institution and results in extended waiting periods.
The high patient volume affects those who rely on public healthcare due to financial constraints. Access to subsidised care is crucial for these patients to receive specialised medical attention.
