Cabinet Minister Harjot Bains protest against private hospital, watch video

Today at Max Hospital, Mohali, I witnessed a deeply painful scene. Due to the negligence of management and their race for money, patients coming from far away were made to sit outside under the excuse of “file making” instead of being admitted in the emergency — even when the emergency ward was empty. An elderly mother from Hamirpur had to wait 20–25 minutes in an ambulance without being admitted. Finally, I had to step in personally to get her, along with another patient, admitted who were helplessly waiting outside. It is shocking to see that for such private hospitals, money holds more value than a human life. While they charge lakhs in the name of treatment, patients are left to suffer and struggle. I have the deepest respect for doctors who are truly considered a form of God, but when certain hospitals and their management behave this way, it is heartbreaking.
