Patients complained that there are not enough stretchers at the hospital that was built at a cost of Rs 400 crore
An elderly man who came to a 1,000-bed hospital in Madhya Pradesh's Gwalior - the largest in the district - had to be dragged on the floor while he sat on a piece of cloth after he got no stretcher. A mobile video shows one of his relatives pulling a white bedsheet as he sat on it.
Patients complained that there are not enough stretchers at the hospital that was built at a cost of Rs 400 crore.
The elderly man had suffered a broken leg and he came to the hospital to get it treated. The video has been shared widely on social media.
"He fell from a cycle," the man's relative said, pointing at the plastered foot. The two said they came from Bhind district, some 70 km from Gwalior.
