Imagine the sinking helplessness when you have suffered an accident and rush to a hospital, only to discover you have been turned away due to overcrowding or technical glitches or some other excuse?

It’s a hard reality we must acknowledge – many hospitals have turned away patients in need of critical care, and this often leads to their untimely death.

Hoping to curb this unfair treatment comes a new warning from the Delhi government that demands private hospitals treat all victims of road accidents, acid attacks and fires or they risk losing their medical license, reports India Times.
