The Hindu
Many private hospitals charging huge amounts, say kin.
Families are being crippled financially in their struggle to get treatment for loved ones suffering from COVID-19. In Telangana, the family of 65-year-old B. Yellaiah (name changed) of Pulkal have had a harrowing time. When Mr. Yellaiah developed symptoms, he was taken to the Government Hospital at Sangareddy where a test confirmed he was COVID positive. The hospital started his treatment. The family felt that Mr. Yellaiah would get better treatment at a private hospital and shifted him to one. Mr. Yellaiah battled for his life for nearly a week and died on Wednesday due to COVID-related complications. The kin were presented with a bill for ₹13 lakh.
