Hospital not providing medicines to poor IPD patient Bittu
Dear Sir,
30 years old Bittu (GTB
Card No. 66492) r/o 807/13, RR Block, Naveen Shahdara, Delhi (Mob. 9891702482)
is an IPD patient in Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, Delhi-95(Ward no. 26, Bed No.
25, 6th Floor). Bittu is suffering from liver, kidney and HIV
problems. He has an old widow mother who is working as maid servant in some houses
and hardly earns Rs. 3000/- per month. He has two daughters of six and seven years’
age. Old mother’s income is the only source of income in the family.
Guru Teg Bahadur
Hospital is not providing the prescribed medicines and the mother is asked to
purchase the same from the market which is not at all possible. A copy of
special drug form containing the prescribed medicines is enclosed hereto for
your ready reference. It is really not understandable as to why the government
hospital is not providing all the required medicines to the IPD patients free
of costs and are asked to purchase from the market. It needs probe and the
urgent action.
Sh. Suresh, the brother-in-law
patient Bittu, has personally approached to me today and requested in writing
to help the patient Bittu by taking his cause with you to ensure that all the
prescribed medicines are regularly provided by the GTB Hospital to the patient
Bittu free of costs. A copy of the letter dated 07.10.2014 is enclosed hereto.
You are requested to kindly
help the patient Bittu by directing the Medical Superintendent of GTB Hospital
to provide all the medicines to IPD patient Bittu free of costs. In case, any
test is required to be done, the same may also be done by the hospital at its
costs and his mother is not asked to get it done from out-side the hospital.
With regards
