A COVID-19 patient from Nagpur slammed Wardhaman Nagar-based Shri Radhakrishna Hospital And Research Institute for overcharging him despite poor facilities.

The relative of the patient named Ankit Modi even shared with Nation Next the hospital bill, which clearly shows a bill of over Rs 1 lakh.

Modi said the expenses were huge for a middle class man to bear, more so when the facilities and the condition of the hospital were so poor.

The patient as per the bill has been charged Rs 4000 for admission kit, Rs 7200 for six PPE kits, Rs 7,900 for pathology, Rs 15,000 per day (for five days) for room. Apart from this, the patient was also charged Rs 7,000 as half-day fees after he was admitted to the hospital at 11pm.

Modi added that despite it being a private room, neither the AC was operational for five days neither was the TV working.
