VIOLATION OF RIGHT TO HEALTH OF OLD POOR PATIENTS - Despite provisions in The Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 to provide medical support for senior citizens through Government hospitals or hospitals funded fully or partially by the Government, these two poor women of 70-75 yrs old suffering from eye ailment are denied free treatment by the Delhi Government run Guru Nanak Eye Hospital. The hospital is delaying operation asking these old women to first deposit Rs.5000/- each with the hospital. Are poor counted in this country except for votes?
