Hyderabad doctor detained by pvt hospital over payment shares her ordeal Dr Sultana alleged that she was charged exorbitant fees and did not receive proper treatment at Thumbay Hospital

They are charging Rs 1.15 lakh per day, I can’t pay so much. We want discharge but they aren’t discharging, they aren’t behaving properly,” says Dr Sultana sobbing in a video.

A civil surgeon at Hyderabad’s Fever Hospital, Dr Sultana, who tested positive for coronavirus, says she faced a harrowing experience at a private hospital. Though she was under treatment at home, when she experienced shortness of breath she was admitted to Thumbay, a private hospital.

She alleges that the private hospital had ‘detained’ her for non-payment of complete bill. The doctor further mentioned in the video that her daughter, brother and sister have all contracted the disease and that she was not getting proper medication at Thumbay.

“They gave me insulin but didn’t provide any food. I’m in trouble, please help me. I’m a COVID warrior,” says Dr Sultana in the video that has gone viral in Telangana. There is also a letter addressed to the Chaderghat police station that is circulating along with the video.TNM
