JALANDHAR, July 26:
The life support system was allegedly removed from a five-day-old girl as her father failed to pay a paltry sum of Rs 200 for treatment in a government hospital here, her family members claimed today.
The victim’s father Sanjeev Kumar charged the medical staff of the civil hospital with removing the vital gadgets from his daughter as he failed to pay the requisite fees.
“My wife Anita gave birth to a girl child in civil hospital on July 21. The child was diagnosed with jaundice and later shifted to emergency ward on life support system,” he told reporters here.“Nurses told me to deposit two hundred rupees as its charge. I was unable to pay the money. Later, they removed the system from my daughter resulting in her death last night,” he claimed. (PTI)
