CMCH hands over body to relatives

The relatives of the deceased were protesting against the hospital authorities as the hospital authorities had refused to hand over the dead body of the deceased to his relatives as the family owes the hospital a bill of about Rs. 2.18 lakhs.

Dr Kanwal Masih, medical superintendent, said it8217;s true because here in the hospital we start the treatment immediately and other hospital charge in advance. He said that the body had been handed over to the family. Dr Masih said the management decided to hand over the body after the villagers pleaded that family of the deceased was in penury.
