7-Year-Old Dies of Dengue as Hospitals Turn Him Away: Healthcare in ICU
The death of seven-year-old Avinash from dengue after five Delhi hospitals turned him away has shaken the country's conscience. The story was made even more tragic and heartbreaking after Avinash's distraught parents committed suicide. The little boy was turned away from one hospital after another, which said they had no beds. The story of Avinash only tells us what we have known and yet choose not to act on - that our healthcare is in the ICU. It is crumbling and falling, and we just don't get it.
