Medical problems don’t come with an announcement, and in times like these, facing a financial crunch is the last thing anyone would ever want. However, with this sudden demonetization, people are having hard time gathering cash for treatment. Understanding their situation, the Vinayka Hospital and Research Centre in Ranchi, announced that they will treat the patients free of cost from November 10 to November 13.

In fact, supporting our PM Modi’s decision Dr. Chandan Kumar Yadav, CMO of the hospital said, “This will go on till November 13, till the country’s economy normalizes a little and till people do not get Rs. 2000 or Rs. 4000.” 

I think PM Modi has taken a bold step. So, facilities are free here from 10 Nov-13 Nov to ensure hassle free treatment: Doctor,Chandan Kumar pic.twitter.com/StLPJB7Z2u

“I have even put up notices in nearby areas that Dr. Chandan Kumar and Vinayka hospital will provide everything free from patients’ treatment, operation, surgery, ICU to anything. Be it medicines, tests, ECG, X-Ray, we are doing it free of cost,” he further added.  

It’s good to see that on one hand where some chemists and hospitals are refusing to take the old notes, this Ranchi hospital is treating its patients for free if they don’t have cash on them. Perhaps the doctors here understand the importance of life and how it’s much more valuable in comparison to the 500 and 1000 rupee notes that were discontinued.
