He said that the government should also provide all facilities in the district hospitals.During hearing of the case, the high court also took notice of the encroachment outside the KTH and directed the government and hospital administration to clear the area outside the hospital of the encroachments.The court ordered the government to vacate all the plots outside the Accident and Emergency Department of KTH as patients are facing problems in shifting patients to the Emergency Department of the hospital.
