Kanpur: A sister was forced to carry her ailing brother on her shoulder in Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur after Hospital authorities denied her a stretcher and an ambulance.
According to sources, the incident took place at GSVM Medical College and Hospital in Kanpur where a woman was not provided with a stretcher to carry his brother till the hospital's gate.
Due to the family's poor economic condition, the woman asked for an ambulance to take her brother to the hospital, which was denied.
This is not the first such incident when patients had to suffer for the callous behaviour of hospital officials.
In fact, there is often a dispute about stretchers in this Hospital. Sometimes patients get stretchers and sometimes they do not. Even if the stretcher is found, the associate of patient wanders for treatment with the patient.
Speaking to ETV Bharat regarding the incident, GSVM Medical College's Principal Dr RB Kamal said, "Such an incident should not happen. Every kind of arrangement is being made in the hospital, but this attitude of the hospital officials is extremely shameful."
"In connection with this case, the hospital superintendent, Dr Jyoti Saxena has been issued a letter asking to investigate the matter and take action on this matter," he said.
