Taking cognizance of an incident at Action Hospital in Shahdol in which a person was died due to alleged negligence of the hospital authorities, the Madhya Pradesh Human Rights Commission (MPHRC) on Monday asked District Collector and SP, Shahdol to file a report in this regard.
The incident took place on August 24 at Dalko Kothari in Beohari Tehsil where one Rampal Kole was admitted at Action Hospital. Reports said his family members were handed a bill of Rs 62,000 for his treatment of four days by the hospital authorities, however, when the family members expressed inability to pay due to lack of money the hospital management allegedly stopped the treatment which resulted in his death.
