Apollo and Fortis Hospitals in Delhi humiliate poor patients

The Issue

Private hospitals in Delhi like Fortis and Apollo humiliate the poor?

On 29.11.11 a sting Operation by NDTV revealed, that well known Private Hospitals in Delhi Hospitals like Apollo and Fortis Hospital do not even treat poor patients with basic human dignity and respect .

Article 21 of the Indian Constitution imposes an obligation on the state to safeguard the right to life of every person. Preservation of human life is thus of paramount importance. The government hospitals and Private Hospitals are duty bound to extend medical assistance for preserving human life, and now even the Private Hospitals .Failure on the part of a hospital to provide timely medical treatment to a person in need of such treatment, results in violation of his right to life guaranteed under Article21.
