(2/11)was handed over for catering to treatment expenses. We were told at 9:40am on 25 May'21 that she passed away during treatment. Repeated requests were made to hand over the body for final rights and somone from family can clear the bill in Interim, we were threatened & told
(3/11) without the final payment they would not even allow the body to step out of the Hospital. Frightened my family that the Hospital doesn't do any harm to my mother's body, with hands folded we pleaded Hospital authorities until 5:30pm (8hrs from the death of the patient)

Hospitals hire doctors for their expertise and sometimes star value, managers for efficiency, financial returns
Nurses and support staff to keep things running (most essential)
Each of the above have their tasks cut out.

India has allowed pvt enterprise in #Healthcare to be free market driven, regulation for safety is becoming norm (NABH) but price regulation has never been addressed. So any corporate body focus will be on brand value, results, returns and growth.

What can be done at this juncture of #COVID19
Govt can subsidise power, water supply, price regulate procurement costs and then ask pvt to look after patients for a price tag (I would even go to say pay part of the salary but our colleagues in govt haven't been paid for months)
