He further added, “ Few days ago I brought my injured friend who met with a serious accident, when I was trying to get him admitted in this hospital, the hospital staff told me to fill the form first and submit the money, then we will treat him but when I pleaded that his family is not present at the moment and we will submit the fee later, they didn’t agree and my friend died due to their irresponsible and unethical behaviour and policies.”
It is evident from earlier reported cases as well, that GMC – Jammu has always been in the news for ill-treating the patients. It is requested that Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha must visit the hospital and take stringent actions against such misconduct and negligent behaviour of doctors and hospital staff which often are resultant of loss of life.
