KEM Hospital in Pune is in trouble after a patient named Amol Parande said the hospital asked for a big amount of Rs 2.5 lakh for his brain surgery. First, they asked for Rs 50,000, and then another Rs 2 lakh, which made many people angry.
The hospital says these claims are wrong. They say Parande came to the hospital on April 20 at 6:40 pm. He was awake but confused and had weakness on his right side. The hospital has given their full story about what happened that day.
There are government rules that say hospitals can’t ask for such big deposits when a patient needs emergency treatment. If patients face such problems, they can get help from the Charitable Hospital Help Desk, which is run by Rameshwar Naik.
After this problem at KEM Hospital, Parande was taken to Max Neuro Hospital in Kasarwadi. The doctors there did his surgery. Right now, he’s still very sick and needs special care from doctors.
This problem has made people look at other hospitals in Pune too. Another hospital, Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital, is also being checked. Five different teams are looking into how hospitals treat patients and if they follow all the rules.
Because of this incident, there are now big discussions about how hospitals should work. People want hospitals to be clear about their bills and follow government rules. They also want hospitals to give quick treatment to patients who are very sick, without asking for money first.
The incident has sparked increased attention to Pune crime news as authorities investigate similar complaints across the city’s healthcare facilities.
