In a shocking turn of events, Gujarat's Health Minister Rushikesh Patel addressed a growing controversy involving Khyati Hospital in Ahmedabad on Wednesday. The uproar centers around allegations of deliberate negligence that emerged after the hospital organized a medical camp for routine check-ups, which led to two reported deaths.

Minister Patel affirmed to the press that the situation warranted swift and stern action, describing it as more than mere negligence. He suggested it might be a 'deliberate attempt,' pledging thorough investigations by the team from PMJAY. As the grim details surfaced, it became clear that post-camp, 17 to 18 villagers were transported under pretenses of further examination.

Adding to the controversy, a local resident from Boris village, Mitesh Patel, detailed the ordeal to ANI. He recounted how banners heralded the camp, leading to the transportation of 19 villagers to the hospital, most of whom were reportedly healthy. Allegedly, the hospital conducted extensive angiographies without family consents, prioritizing monetary transactions before surgeries. As the case unfolds with police complaints and demands for justice, the spotlight remains on the hospital's ethics.
