    After Fortis, Medanta charges Rs. 16 lakh for 22-day-long treatment
  • Medanta hospital in Gurgaon has charged Rs. 16 lakh for the 22-day-long dengue treatment of a seven year old boy. The boy, Saurya Pratap Singh, passed away on Wednesday.

    Gopendra Singh, the boy's father, has now decided to take the matter to the Union Health Ministry.

    This comes after Fortis hospital, Gurgaon, charged another patient Rs. 15.6 lakh for a two-week-long treatment.

    Earlier, Dwarka resident Jayant Singh was charged Rs. 15.6 lakh by Fortis hospital for the treatment of his seven-year-old daughter, Adya, who, like Saurya Pratap, also passed away from dengue despite treatment.
