Private hospitals fleecing dengue patients: AAP

Chandigarh, October 16

The state AAP unit today accused the Congress government of leaving people at the mercy of private hospitals amid rising dengue cases.

Addressing mediapersons here today, MLA Baljinder Kaur said: “With dengue cases rising, the health mafia has gotten active. Private hospitals are charging exorbitant fee for beds and tests. A packet of single donor platelets (SDP) is being sold for Rs 10,000-15,000 to make up for the shortage of blood platelet, while the government is in slumber.” She accused the government of failing to take preventive steps as dengue outbreak peaked after September. — TNS
