Shocking incident in northern India: hospital accused of treating dead children for money
by Bhagyashree BarmanIn a deeply distressing incident, a hospital in northern India’s Uttar Pradesh has been accused of treating two deceased children for two days to extort money from their grieving family.
The incident took place in Lucknow and the video went viral on June 25.
Visuals showed the hospital staff carrying the child and bringing it out of the ambulance when the onlookers and parents could clearly make out the baby was dead. The father is weeping as well as disappointed and angry at the hospital authorities on how insensitive and inhuman people can become for money.
According to reports, the family knew the children had passed away two days before, but the hospital staff continued to administer treatment and demanded payment for their services. The family alleges that the hospital prioritised financial gain over basic human decency, leaving them to suffer not only the loss of their loved ones but also the burden of unnecessary medical expenses.
