Sub: absence of anti-rabies vaccine in Delhi Govt.
and MCD run Hospitals in Indian Capital
Dear Sir,
It is brought to your kind notice that I have received a complaint on telephone today from Mr. Ramesh Kumar r/o H. No- 147, Village Badli, Delhi (M-9213532168) that his 12 years old son Akash Yadav was bitten by a stray dog early in the morning today. He first rushed to the govt. dispensary in Sector – 18 near Badli village, then to the to B.R. Ambedkar Hospital, Rohini, then to Babu Jagjivan Ram Memorial Hospital, Jahangirpuri, then to Hindu Rao Hospital where he was advised to go to Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital as none of the aforesaid hospitals were having the availability of anti-rabies vaccine. At the time of writing this letter, the patient is on his way to Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital and I am not sure if he really gets treated there.
It is a serious matter as it involves violation of fundamental right to health of the citizens.
Kindly look into this matter on urgent basis.
Thanking you
With regards
Ashok Agarwal, Advocate

This communication not only led to highlighting of the issue by several newspapers but also the issue was raised by an honourable member of the Parliament in the Rajya Sabha the very next day.
