Gandhi Hospital to probe into allegations
Telangana | Written by : Suryaa DeskHyderabad: In a heartwrenching incident a bruised patient was denied the luxury of using a wheelchair in the state-run Gandhi Hospital as he was unable to pay bribes. The inhumane acts of the staff forced the sufferer to use his son’s toy tricycle to reach doctors ward. The incident took place on Wednesday.
“I paid the demanded amount on several occasions but this time I simply had no money,” she said adding “Earlier my husband underwent treatment at the hospital for almost 100 days and I had to shell out money for injections and bed covers.” The doctors had told her that her husband needs to undergo surgery.
Meanwhile, Gandhi Hospital's superintendent Dr Manjula said, "We have not got any written complaint from the attendants' of the patient. However, on the basis of media reports, we have constituted an enquiry committee to look into the matter. A report is likely to be submitted within a day. Based on the report, the necessary action will be initiated against those responsible for the incident." (with agency inputs)
