A picture that has emerged from Jhansi Medical College has raised questions on the arrangements. After the death of his wife, a poor husband did not even have money to take the body home. The helpless husband kept sitting near the body of his wife on a stretcher in the rain. The daughter of about 8 years also kept crying after seeing the dead body of her mother. No one noticed the father and daughter sitting for hours waiting for help. Meanwhile, when a constable of UP Police passing by saw this painful scene, he took information about the matter and sent the body home by arranging an ambulance.
The case is from Jhansi’s Maharani Lakshmi Bai Medical College. Rahul Adivasi, a resident of Nakata village in Madhya Pradesh’s Niwari district, had been ill for some time. Rahul brought his wife to Orchha Hospital for treatment. When her condition worsened, doctors referred her to Jhansi Medical College.
The wife is gone, there is no money to take the body home.
According to Rahul, he didn’t have enough money, so he somehow managed to arrange the money and took his wife to the medical college by taxi. His eight-year-old daughter, Nandini, was also with him. Upon arrival, doctors declared Ramvati dead. The body was then placed on a stretcher and handed over to the family. However, the family had no means or funds to transport the body back to the village.
The innocent daughter kept crying after seeing her mother
Rahul, already grieving the loss of his wife, now faced another difficult situation. He sat under the roof of the vehicle stand on the medical college campus, carrying the body on a stretcher. It was raining outside, and his wife’s body was lying on the stretcher in front of him. His innocent daughter, Nandini, sitting nearby, wept inconsolably, looking at her mother.
The policeman helped
It is reported that the father and daughter sat like this for about an hour, hoping for help. Their eyes were searching for someone who could support them in this difficult time. Meanwhile, a policeman noticed Rahul and his daughter sitting on the stretcher. The constable went to them and inquired. When he learned that the family did not have the money to take the body home, he decided to help. He arranged for an ambulance and arranged for the body to be sent home.
Meanwhile, Dr. Sachin Mahur, CMS of the Medical College, said that for families who do not have the means to transport the body, the Medical College provides a hearse. It is possible that the family member may not have disclosed their concerns to the medical staff.
Recently, a similar case emerged from Jharkhand’s Gumla district, embarrassing the healthcare system. Shivani Kumari, a ninth-grade student, died in her parents’ arms due to a lack of timely ambulance and oxygen .
