Parents Push Sick Child's Stretcher Under Sun
7 Jun
Summary
- Parents pushed a 12-year-old boy on a stretcher for a kilometer.
- The child was referred for a spinal issue but faced admission denial.
- Previous incidents highlight patient handling failures at the hospital.
A distressing scene unfolded in Indore as parents of a 12-year-old boy, Adarsh, were compelled to push his stretcher for approximately one kilometer under intense sunlight. Adarsh had been receiving treatment for about 15 days for a spinal issue. After being referred from MY Hospital to the Super Speciality Hospital, the family claims they were informed that admission was not necessary, requiring them to transport him back to MY Hospital themselves.
This incident brings to light recurring issues with patient handling at MY Hospital. In March 2026, relatives were seen moving patients on stretchers and wheelchairs, sparking concerns about management. Similar events in February 2026, where a patient was pushed across a road after a gate was allegedly closed, also drew criticism. These episodes follow earlier controversies involving infant injuries and alleged rat bites in the NICU, underscoring persistent problems in the healthcare system.
