Stretchers Shortage at Mohali Phase-6 Civil Hospital Leaves Patients Stranded

Mohali’s Phase‑6 Civil Hospital is facing a critical shortage of stretchers, according to reports from patients and on‑site staff. The lack of basic transport equipment has forced several patients to remain on the floor or in waiting areas while awaiting medical attention. Hospital officials have acknowledged the shortfall and said they are coordinating with the health department to procure additional stretchers as quickly as possible. In the meantime, staff are improvising by using chairs and makeshift beds, but the situation continues to cause discomfort and delays for those seeking care.
