 A cancer patient, who choose to be anonymous, disclosed this to New Telegraph, when he paid a visit to the hospital.

 

 "I have been here since two days struggling to be attended to but the problem is that it is only medical doctors, who are working and attending to patients. I came all the way from the east and the radiotherapy machine will work for few hours and stop. The machine has become obsolete and it is te only one serving almost all the cancer patients in the north central.

 

 We are many here and it is only doctors, who do their own work and that of others.

 

 "The doctors are doing their work, that of the nurses and provided other services to see that we do not die. The doctors sort the folders themselves and do every other work done by nurses. If not, many people would have died within this period. They refer us to pharmaceutical stores outside to get drugs.
