“They charged me Rs11000 (eleven thousand Rupees) for one MRI & CT Scan, when I asked why too much charges they said we give sleeping medicine to your baby. (syrup pediclory)”
She stated that the cost of one bottle of peadiclory syrup is Rs 100, then how come 10ml costs thousands of rupees?
“I request you to seal the hospital and see how this privatization mafia is looting in the name of treatment. In their registration document they claim social service, but very unfortunately they looted me by Rs 11000 instead of Rs 6000.”
