“The hospital that treats him raised the RS 17 Lakh bill and but they could not save him.
There should be several hats on the costs charged by the hospital and the patient must be saved because of being cheated.
Many borrow money for care of their relatives.
They are almost bankrupt.

Do we see hospitals such as the real estate industry or sectors that provide assistance to patients in trouble.

SC said, “After Mandamus by SC, it cannot be rejected or canceled by executive notifications.
When you (Gujarat) say that no action to build bye-law violations will be taken until June 30 next year, whether you want more people Died of a similar incident? “General Tushar Mehta Solitor clarified that Covid Care Hospital had made fire compliance in accordance with the APEX trial order but to close the hospital for non-correction of BYE-LAW building as a pandemic means losing 30,000 beds intended to treat patients Covid.
