Sir, Of late, we observe good number of patients waiting for doctors at clinics, both general practitioners and specialists. Most of the patients are senior citizens with degenerative ailments. Only a few doctors keep-up their appointments while others are not able to maintain appointments due to their pre-occupation. As a result patients are made to wait for long hours. But almost all clinics are not provided with toilets for senior citizens to attend nature’s call. Hence, I request the doctors to provide toilet facility at their clinics for their patients, which is the need of the hour and patient-friendly approach. At present, except diagnostic centres, no clinic is provided with toilet facility in city.
