Employees lobby tries to sabotage e-health system, rejects online OP ticket and forces patients to stand in queue

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The employees lobby are trying to sabotage the e-health online OP system implemented to help patients to take OP tickets without standing in the queue for hours. The patients who visit doctors with the printout of OP tickets taken through e-health system are rejected by employees and are forced to take OP tickets from hospital itself. Some employees who collect money from poor patients by offering them OP tickets are behind this. Because of this patients have to wait in the queue for hours.

As the e-health system became prevalent, more patients began to make use of the facility and the employees who are afraid of losing their income in this means are behind the sabotage attempt. They even behaves in an bad way and use foul language to the patients. The online OP ticket have the same validity as the OP ticket from hospital.
