Ashok Agarwal 6:29pm Jul 10 HOSPITAL DETAINS EWS PATIENT FOR NON PAYMENT OF FULL BILL - BREAKING NEWS - Just now, I have been informed by a social worker Joginder (9891917029) that Sri Balaji Action Medical Institute, Paschim Vihar, New Delhi despite having 9 ews beds vacant, declined to provide free treatment to a very poor ews patient namely, Anand Kumar, 34 years age. The hospital has raised a bill of Rs.1,35,000/-. He was admitted on 7 July 2011 and has been discharged today. The poor patient borrowing from relatives and friends somehow deposited Rs.one lac with the hospital and he has no more money to pay. The hospital is not allowing the patient to leave the hospital without payment of full bill. In terms of Delhi High Court orders in Social Jurist PIL the Hospital ought to have treated him totally free. The Hospital should have returned Rs.one lac to the patient.
