Libraries in Hospitals

The library started at an unattended corner at the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Government Hospital in Tiruchi, Tamil Nadu has become a medium to relax, learn and spend time for patients, tippers and employees. Here are some books, magazines and English-Tamil newspapers available. In the Covid period it has been proven that recreational books are extremely helpful in the treatment of patients.
Patients with symptoms of Corona in Ghaziabad adjacent to Delhi during the second wave of Covid were kept in Ekantawas. But on the day, reports of patients’ fights or stress were coming from the Ekantawas centers. Then the district administration distributed books of about 200 children there in collaboration with the National Book Trust. The colourful books made it to the heart of the patients and they started to look happy. His time flew with wings. The doctors also believed that the books reduced the stress of the quarantined people, they had a deep sleep and a communication of positivity. This also increased the speed of their health benefits.
It was also initiated to launch a library with thousands of books at the world’s largest quadrant in centre built at Radhaswami Satsang, Chhatarpur in Delhi. Here the National Book Trust also carries a hundred-hundred points of his magazine ‘Pathak Manch Bulletin and ‘Book Culture’ with a thousand books. The admitted patients there looked healthy and happy early.
The presence of tippers who come up with patients in the country’s hospitals is a great cause of wet and dislocation, as they often spend time in the waiting area without work and become a victim of mental fatigue, which also increases the pressure on the hospital system. Tiruchi’s hospital library has discovered the solution to keep such tippers positive and busy. The history of library arrangements in hospitals in developed countries of the world is more than a hundred years old. About 170 libraries were established in 1917 in the U.S. in army hospitals. War library started in Sun1919 in UK. This is followed by the arrangement of such books to keep patients busy and give the trust of recovery in most European countries hospitals today. In Australia’s public hospitals, so common people can also take to read books. The library of Christi Cancer Hospital, Manchester, England, then classifies books according to colours. The children’s books are plentiful in Japan’s hospitals and they often read adults only.
India has about thirty-eight thousand hospitals, with over eight lakh patients admitted every day. They also have tippers with them. It is estimated that no twenty lakh people are in the hospital premises round the clock. Twenty per cent are extremely severe in these, the remaining ones are intelligently in chaitanya and a state where it is an outright task to lie in bed or wait for their patient outside.
Usually TVs imposed for patients and tippers in large hospitals, often showing stress-enhancing programs, while mobile phones have become a source of rumors and false information. This affects both mental balance of patients and peace of tippers. It is well known that books play together best in solitude. These black printed words, work medicine in the period of pain and sadness. It is important to have some good books in everyone’s life. Books are not just meant to pass entertainment or exams, meant to make life’s way. Every difficult question in the books, the solution to the situation may not be hidden but in a dilemma period, by reading books, understanding makes a positive expansion of his thinking. can give people a sattvic mental dose, which can be helpful in their early diseased.
