8 个月I worked at Ahalia hospital, Hamdan street from 2014 to 2022. Since August 2017, the hospital failed to pay salaries on time. This practice continued till early 2022. I repeatedly sent emails to this Dr. Gopal, so called visionary, that our lives are destroyed by delayed salaries but the only thing he need is money for himself. We could not meet our liabilities for no fault of ours. Ahalia hospital destroyed my life, left me with loans to sustain my family. I complained to Ministry of Labor three times, but Mr. Gopal has good contacts there and nothing happened. Finally after being fed up with my persistent complaints to administration via email they refused to renew my contract and my last working day was October 30, 2022. There were no issues with my working ability, it was pure revenge. I pray to Allah that Dr. Gopal and Dr. Vibhu find the worst in life. They have destroyed me and my family, to the point that I have no option but to go to Old Peoples Home, though I am just 61 and fully capable of working. When you praise people like him, remember he is a parasite who drains blood out of the staff working in his hospital. Allah take him to jahannam as soon as possible.
