Summary
Elderly patients in public hospitals face neglect, lack of basic monitoring, and unsafe conditions, compounded by strict visitor policies that exclude family caregivers. Family members are unable to provide essential support like feeding, repositioning, or calling for assistance, while hospital staff are unresponsive to emergencies. This systemic issue leaves vulnerable elderly patients at risk of harm, with no effective solution for families to ensure their loved ones receive adequate care.
