The man himself had COVID-19's disease, but because the Indian treatment cost was too high to afford, his heart had collapsed and he chose to commit suicide. This man is from West Bengal, India. He is 56 years old. Recently, because he may have COVID-19, he went to the local hospital for diagnosis. As a result, he was diagnosed with COVID-19. He was told that the situation was very serious at this time and needed to be sent to ICU for treatment immediately. But the cost of a hospital is 1.4 million RMB, which is absolutely impossible for ordinary Indians in India, even those with slightly better families.
In this case, he had to transfer from a hospital with better medical equipment to another hospital, but the cost of treatment was still high, so the man was very unstable and even wanted to jump from the window of the hospital building to commit suicide. As a result, the hospital staff found that the man broke the window of the hospital bed with an oxygen bottle and was about to commit suicide by jumping off the building, so he advised him not to commit suicide.
Do you think the government is not responsible for this matter? In fact, the government also knows that medical expenses are very expensive now, so there is an order in West Bengal that all public hospitals and private hospitals should not let COVID-19 patients bear all the expenses. However, after the order was issued, it did not play much role, because these hospitals did not implement this policy at all, so the expenses borne by these patients were still very expensive.
Because there is a big gap between the rich and the poor in India, and most of the sick people are poor in India, where can they afford to see a doctor after they get sick? It is better to wait for death at home, because even if it is cured, it may not be cured, and there is no money to cure it. Sick people have always been poor, and even my own heart may be unbalanced and distorted.
