Dengue treatment doesn't cost that much unless there are serious complications. Did your friend need ICU care?

Yes... he was in ICU... but the cost of services was increased as soon as his insurance cover was over... only room rent was same...

Plus they informed him about completion of insurance when 1.5 lakh was overdue... that was really unprofessional behaviour...

I find their hospital similar to the one in "Gabbar is back" movie...

As a doctor, I myself don't go to the costliest hospital for treatment.
I will enter a hospital like fortis when my networth is in multiple crores, and I don't mind spending 20-50 lakhs for a serious medical procedure.
Not sure, but I think the owner is a non medico guy, and a big time fraud. The doctors are not the ones overcharging you. The owner and the higher management is at fault.
Look for cheaper hospitals in cheaper places.

Utter nonsense. there are probably more deserving patients in India.

Mansoor ahmed should accept the fate allah has chosen for him. why go begging to non-believers?

Non believers ?

All Pak leaders including Mush go abroad for treatment , do they have Muslim doctors ?

Think.. please

Great gesture. Take a bow everyone !

 

[Proudpakistaniguy]

Its good gesture from India but most Indians are not supporting such move. Our pathetic rulers rush toward best hospital abrod even when get flu and cough while our real heoros are being ignored. They should have sponsor him financially at least if there were not enough medical facility within Pakistan

Mansoor ahmed will prefer to die in Pakistan than having his heart transplant in India if he ever read the vile comments of most Indian on express tribune where they are calling him beggars, terrorist , jiahdi etc etc

 

[my2cents]

Fortis is biggest looter... they charged Rs. 9,00,000 from my friend... thats too for dengue... while 5lakh was paid by the insurance company... he was forced to pay remaining 4 lakh...

CBC while insurance @700
CBC when cover expire @ 1250

Man they are really desperate to earn money by hook or by crook...



Nobody can build a nation if their children don't have access to proper education and medical facilities... development of human resource is mandatory to build a strong nation...

And that is the problem of Indian sub-continent...

Your friend survived but lot of people succumbed to the disease and their families got bills of 4 lakhs and more.

So patients shouldn't be billed if they die after costly treatments?

 

[halupridol]

So patients shouldn't be billed if they die after costly treatments?

No the doctor shud be beaten or atleast sued for negligence n hospital shud declare it pro bono otherwise tor phor karo,case karo
Wait for anothr 10-15yrs,,,let the system absorb the bridge course products,bhms,bams n all jholachaps,,uske baad dekhna.
Even now only a handful of students want to study medicine,,n tht too is declining rapidly.

Hockey legend Mansoor Ahmed to receive Pakistan’s first mechanical heart aid
https://tribune.com.pk/story/1699065/7-pakistan-hockey-legend-refuses-treatment-country/

KARACHI:

For the first time in Pakistan, a unique technology is being introduced to treat heart patients, whose left or right valves have become dysfunctional, enabling them to have mechanical hearts valves implanted.


Former goalkeeper of the Pakistan hockey team, Mansoor Ahmed will be the first patient to have this device implanted.

On the request of the head of the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD) in Karachi, Professor Nadeem Qamar, world famous heart transplant surgeon Dr Pervez Chaudhry has joined the institute.



The use of this new technique is the result of the efforts of Prof Qamar. The head of the hospital has also given an order to an American firm to implant a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) in Ahmed. It will be implanted next month at the NICVD.

The use of an LVAD allows patients to live normal lives in cases where they otherwise would not be able to do so.

The hospital’s administration has begun work to offer new and advanced procedures to cardiac patients.

Ahmed has been suffering from complex cardiac issues for the past several years. Two years ago, a cardiac resynchronisation device was implanted in his weak heart, after which he was able to lead a normal life.




However, his cardiac issues resurfaced this year, after which Prof Qamar contacted Dr Chaudhry to intervene. He requested the surgeon to visit Pakistan and join the hospital to save several precious lives, including that of the former hockey team player.

Hospital administrator Dr Hameedullah Malik told Express News that Dr Chaudhary has indeed joined the institute. According to Dr Malik, all preparations for Ahmed’s procedure have been completed. He attributed the success of implanting a mechanical device in the heart to Prof Qamar.

Dr Malik said this is the first time the LVAD is being introduced in Pakistan. A mechanical device is inserted in the right side of the patient’s heart. Due to the procedure, the right side of the heart will start functioning with the help of the device.

He shared that the new technique is receiving acknowledgment and that this technique is a ray of hope for cardiac patients.


Patients whose hearts stop functioning are candidates for LVADs. Dr Malik said that the cost of the procedure is very high but it will be provided free of charge at the NICVD. He thanked the Sindh government, saying that the chief minister has supported the institute and played an important role in ensuring treatment for poor patients with the most advanced technology.

Contrary to media reports that Ahmed had refused to be treated at the NICVD and instead wanted to undergo a heart transplant in India, Dr Malik said he is still under observation at the facility.

He said that currently, the team of doctors is trying to control Ahmed’s dehydration that he has been suffering since his lungs were filled with water. According to Dr Malik, there is no one to look after him and he has not turned down the hospital’s offer of the free of charge procedure as long as he recovers completely after the surgery.
