5 people were buried after the collapse of an old three-storied building in Mithakhali village of Ahmedabad city early in the morning, who were rescued and shifted by 108 to the nearby Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (SVP) Hospital. However, on reaching the hospital, it was said that the cost of various reports including CT scan per person will be 8 thousand rupees, four people will spend a total of 24 thousand rupees. Hearing this, the injured left the hospital and left without treatment. A child was also among the injured. At that time, the injured kept going back without treatment as money was first demanded for treatment in the hospital built at a cost of 750 crores by Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC). The question is what action will be taken against those responsible for not following the guidelines of the Supreme Court on this issue. While the Congress protested by going to the hospital demanding report money from the injured and alleged that there was no scope for treatment of poor people in the SVP hospital.
SVP’s CEO did not mention the name of the money demand
Saurabh Patel, CEO of SVP Hospital said in a conversation with Divya Bhaskar that patients came to the hospital this morning for treatment. In that, the casualty medical officer in the emergency department was not aware that there were people injured in the building collapse accident in Mitakhali area. He suffered minor injuries. Only the little girl was a little bit shaken. The rest had a normal bruise. First aid was given to him. However, Divya Bhaskar asked him whether he had been given first aid and bandaged etc.? In this matter, he said that he had checked whether he had been hurt, but there was no more injury. His condition was good. Later he was shifted to LG Hospital.
24,000 of four people said: victim Shilpaben
In this regard, Shilpaben, who was injured, said that when there was a sound of something falling early in the morning, he asked the neighbor woman if something had fallen. So nothing has fallen, it was said. However, within five minutes, the entire building collapsed, trapping four people, including me and my little girl. Immediately people kicked us out. My daughter got hit on her leg. We went to SVP Hospital for treatment, where the cost per person including CT scan was said to be Rs 8,000. We were told Rs 24,000 for the four of us. After that, he returned to Mitakhali village.
Congolese corporators staged a protest under the leadership of the opposition leader
A dilapidated house collapsed in Mithakhali, killing one person and injuring 4 persons who were brought to SVP Hospital. In this matter today, under the leadership of opposition Shehzad Khan Pathan, the corporators and workers of Congress protested in front of the administration at SVP Hospital. They protested with the slogans of “Stop looting the poor, give justice, give justice”. He demanded that every injured person should be given first aid on humanitarian basis.
SVP has no scope for treatment of the poor – Cons
It has been alleged by the Congress that it is not possible to treat the poor in the 1200-bed SVP Hospital built at a cost of 750 crores after closing VS Hospital, which is the lifeline of the poor. Today’s incident of house collapse in Mithakhali village is an example of money being demanded from injured people instead of treatment. As they do not have such a huge amount, they have been admitted to LG Hospital. It clearly shows that only false promises are made by BJP government to treat poor persons in SVP hospital. The reality is that there is no scope for poor persons in SVP Hospital.
What was the whole course of events?
5 people were buried in an old three-storey building collapsed in the Mitakhali village of Ahmedabad city on Monday (July 10) early morning. Four people, including a small girl, were immediately rescued by the locals and referred to the nearby SVP Hospital for treatment through 108. However, he was told the cost before treatment at SVP Hospital. It was said that the cost including CT scan per person is 8 thousand rupees and the total cost of four persons will be 24 thousand rupees. As the injured family could not pay such a huge amount immediately, they returned without treatment. On the one hand, SVP Hospital was started as a hospital for poor and middle class people, but instead of treating them as money, questions have been raised against the hospital system.
