According to current media such as Jagran News, a private hospital in Dhanbad Nawadi, Jharkhand, India, left a ventilator hidden from the death of a 35-year-old male patient. At the same time, it is known that he pressured the patient's family to pay additional costs.
The patient was in a car accident and was being treated at the hospital.
The patient's mother-in-law has already paid approximately 200,000 rupees (about 3.2 million won) for the treatment of her son-in-law, but the hospital continued to demand additional costs" he insisted.
She said "Even after hours of no movement, the hospital did not announce the death"On the contrary, he said he had to pay an additional 200,000 rupees to move to another hospital."
As the family strongly protested, the medical staff moved the body out of the intensive care unit after saying it had died.
Dozens of nearby residents flocked to the hospital immediately after the incident, and medical staff and staff all fled at one point and returned only four hours after the police arrived.
A hospital official later denied the bereaved families' claims.
He said "The patient was in such a critical condition"The medical expenses received so far were 140,000 rupees (about 2.2 million won), and I tried to save them until the end through a ventilator. The claims of negligence in management or intentional concealment are groundless."
Police and health authorities will conduct a close investigation into the incident.
