The hospital should be a place where people will be ready and willing to visit and as a public hospital the authorities should be able make it a place of choice. During the research, questionnaires were administered and 319 respondents responded to the questionnaire. The purposive and accidental sampling methods were employed for the studies and SPSS software was used to generate the results.

With this research, it came to that that more of the female and youth responded to the questionnaire. It also came to light that the nurses are polite and talk nicely to patients but the patients are not happy with the time and the process they go through before they create a new folder or collect their folders. Also, the patients are not aware of any channel or avenue to air their grievances.

It was recommended that the nurses should be given training on patients care and also a section should be created where patients could air their grievances.
