HARASSMENT TO POOR PATIENT

Yesterday, a poor pregnant woman patient Komal was referred by Government-run Harish Chandra Hospital at Nerala to Sri Balaji Action Institute, Paschim Vihar without confirming about the availability of EWS Bed in the Hospital. The patient went to Sri Balaji Action Institute where she was advised to go to some other Hospital alleging that EWS Bed was not available in the Hospital. The mother of the patient contacted me. As she told me that the patient is critical, I advised her to take the patient to Government-run B.R.Ambedkar Hospital, Rohini. She took the patient to BRA Hospital. After about two hours, she was advised to take to some other hospital as no bed was available in the Hospital. It was really very disappointing state of affairs. Mother of the patient again contacted me and told me that the patient getting serious and none of the Hospitals are taking care of her. At this point of time, I contacted the Medical Superintendent of Bhagwati Hospital at Sector 13, Rohini and asked him, if he could admit patient Komal having 5 moths pregnancy. The M.S. of the Bhagwati Hospital promptly agreed to admit the patient in the Hospital. Now Komal is undergoing medical treatment in the Bhagwati Hospital under EWS category and her relatives are happy.
