Hyderabad: Yashoda Hospital faces allegations of fleecing patients

In addition to his allegations, Mr. Khan implied that the hospital staff even refused to acknowledge the CGHS card (registered under the CGHS empanelment), and insisted on the deposit payment of Rs 40,000. He was forced to pay Rs 25,000 for staying in the hospital for less than a day. The doctors also insisted that the patient needs to be admitted in the hospital for at least three days. Besides, she was administered medicines without checking her medical history, as a result of which she developed rashes.

He is now demanding a stringent action against the hospital and the CGHS empanelment; and also demanding the attention of the All India Medical Council to cancel its license on the basis of conducting unnecessary tests and providing improper treatment

Hindu reported that through the letter, the Member of Parliament raised a number of questions such as the fate of a common man when admitted to private hospitals and the way they were robbing the government’s money through CGHS through inflated bills. He also pointed out that the fee for doctors and nurses was very high but that of the bed very low so as to evade taxes.
