Andhra Pradesh
By Our Correspondent
About 50 women along with their infants were drawn by the authorities to the hospital last night and they were told by them that Mr. Bill Gates and the Chief Minister, N. Chandrababu Naidu, would administer polio drops and Hepatitis-B vaccine to their children. But only about 15 women were allowed into community health centre just before Bill Gates and Chandrababu arrived. Parvathamma, Qurshida Begam, Naseema Begam, Chandrakala and Radha who were summoned from surrounding villages lost their cool when they were denied entry into the hospital and lashed at the hospital authorities for wasting their time since early in the morning. Meanwhile, Mr. Bill Gates spent over 45 minutes in the hospital going round the wards for men and women patients besides the immunisation ward. He administered polio drops to seven children while the Chief Minister who accompanied him also administered polio drops to other eight children. Mr. Bill Gates asked the hospital Superintendent, Om Prakash, about the AIDS patients but the Superintendent said that as the health centre was not provided AIDS detecting equipment, they could not conduct test of AIDS. The Superintendent told mediapersons that the Microsoft chief was happy to see the cleanliness in the hospital.
