A retired soldier suffering from Covid died without any treatment at a hospital in Bihar today, as the hospital authorities were busy preparing for the visit of the state health minister Mangal Pandey. Vinod Singh died in the vehicle he was brought to the Nalanda Medical College and Hospital. The authorities did not admit him despite his family's repeated requests. "My father was COVID positive. Other hospitals refused to admit him, NMCH hospital agreed. They made us wait outside for one-and-a-half hours," the patient's son was quoted as saying by news agency ANI. Vinod Singh, a resident of Lakhisarai -- 120 km from Patna -- was referred to the state capital after testing positive for Covid a few days ago. His son, Abhimanyu Kumar, said they brought him to Patna on Monday evening and took him to the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences. But the doctors there refused to admit him as there were no beds available. So he was taken to a private nursing home, where he was admitted for a few hours.More Related News
