Outrageous:
Varavara Rao's family writes another letter. This time to the home minister of Maharashtra for having gotten NO INFORMATION about his health condition or treatment at Nanavati Hospital for the last TWELVE DAYS.
#VaravaraRao
"We hope you will understand the anxiety of a family who is kept in dark for 12 days when a member is lodged in a hospital in a grave condition," the letter reads.
We have been calling Nanavati Hospital also every day since July 20, 2020 but received no response from them. We contacted the PRO of Nanavati Hospital on July 21, 2020. In response to our message to the hospital authorities (the PRO of Nanavati Hospital)...
...we were informed on July 26, 2020 (yesterday) that the hospital has been updating the jail authorities regularly about his health: “Ms. Pavana, we are regularly giving updates to jail authorities, you can approach them for details ...” was the message we received....
...It is a mystery why this information is not passed on to the family by the jail authorities. We believe that it is inhuman and unethical to withhold the information about Mr Rao’s health to his anxious family....
...We, therefore, request you to direct Taloja jail authorities or Nanavati Hospital to provide regular updates on Mr. Rao’s health status, the diagnosis of his health problems and line of treatment to us. Is Mr. Rao doing well?...
...Given his age and ailments, what is the impact of Covid-19 on his health? We have many questions and doubts lingering in our minds. We believe as Mr. Rao’s family we should have access to information about his health, according to the law of the land and medical ethics.
