<p>A year since the note ban, apathy and neglect continue to plague our medical system. But, there's no one to foot the bill for the destruction</p>

You reach a certain stage in life and healthcare is everyone's top concern. I read in the papers that a subsidiary of AIIMS in Rishikesh charges exorbitant rates for most medical services - the very opposite of AIIMS, Delhi.

Those who could afford it went to Delhi and the rest just suffered.

At least 30 children died within 48 hours at Gorakhpur's Baba Raghav Das (BRD) Medical College Hospital, as parents complained of negligent treatment. File pic
