Jaya Arogya Hospital, being the largest hospital in Gwalior's Chambal division, draws patients from Jhansi, Tikamgarh, Anuppur, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan as well. Such irresponsible behavior by the doctors has exposed the hollow system of this hospital. Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia has also expressed displeasure about the arrangements of the hospital and the doctors ignoring the patients are also treated unfairly.
