# Hooda says High Court exposed BJP’s health failures in Haryana 2026-08-22T05:05:55+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Leader of the Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda said the Punjab and Haryana High Court has exposed the state of health services under the BJP government in Haryana. Hooda claimed the court expressed deep concern over the dilapidated healthcare system, pointing to a severe shortage of doctors across the state. Hooda stated that hundreds of posts for Medical Officers and specialist doctors have remained vacant for years, with the government showing no interest in filling them. He added that basic amenities are missing in district hospitals, and the court was compelled to mandate that every district hospital must have at least one CT scan machine, one MRI machine, and an ICU facility. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The High Court's directive on mandatory CT and MRI machines in every district hospital is a rare judicial intervention in health infrastructure, which is usually a policy matter. Haryana's doctor-to-patient ratio has long been below the national average, with rural areas worst hit. The next step will be the government's compliance report, expected at the next hearing, which will show how many vacancies it plans to fill and within what timeline. ## Coverage - millenniumpost.in The article reports Hooda's allegations verbatim without adding independent verification or counter-comment, making it a neutral relay of the opposition's statement.
