Patients and students are facing problems at the rear entrance of Unani hospital and college due to heavy traffic and autos parked haphazardly in front of it. During the Corona pandemic, the hospital management closed the main gate of the hospital which was not opened till today.

The chabutra on the hospital premises used to be the favourite spot for the tourists to shoot Charminar.
