Shut down hospitals that are killing people for money

Hello,

There is a lot of pain and anger across the country due to irresponsility of Hospitals that are killing people just for sake of money.

My mother was hospitalized in 'Sai Swastik Hospital' Anandwadi, Kalyan(East), Maharashtra, due to Covid-19 virus detected. She had no other diseases like diabetes, blood pressure or heart problems. Age 54. She was hospitalized on 23rd of August 2020 for the treatment of Covid. 

Doctors at Sai Swastik hospital started her treatment with CT Scan and Xray on 1st and 2nd day. 30% infection detected. So doctors suggested us to arrange Remidisivir injections (6 doses). Also, our patient required Oxigen support on bypap. We kept on suggesting hospital to track the infections level by another Xray or scan, but they ignored by saying 'Medication is on, so infection will go down'.

On 28th August and 1st September doctors tested with Xray and identified that infection level has increased by 50-60% or more. 'Sai Swastik Hospital' informed us to arrange another injection on 1st September (Inj Actemra 400mg [Cost Rs.40000 or more]). On 2nd of September doctors informed us, this injection will not be useful as patient is at very critical condition. Also you should shift patient to another hospital for treatment. 

By this time infection level had reached to 70-80%. We had no other options than shifting our patient, but after 5 days of painful fight on Ventilator my mother lost the battle with virus and she passed away. 

Sai Swastik Hospital doctors completely ignored to track the infection level on daily basis and just relied on medicines they were giving. Which results in big loss to our family. All above that Hospital charged us Rs.4,00,000/- as a total bill (for my mother and father who was also hospitalized in the same hospital).

We need your support to SHUT DOWN such hospitals, so that nobody else will get killed for the benefit of hospitals. 

We really need Maharashtra government, KDMC and all responsible authorities to shut down 'SAI Swastik Hospital' and all others too (who are playing with people emtions and money) on immediate basis. Please cancel such licenses. 

Please give your support to save other lives.

Thanks.
