A famous Muslim Professor Wali Akhtar Nadwi, from the Arabic department of Delhi University died on 9 June after he was denied treatment at around six private hospitals in Delhi and Noida. He had shown Covid symptoms but the hospitals refused to admit him citing different reasons.
Dr Aditya Narayan Mishra, former president of the Delhi University Teachers Association criticised healthcare authorities over Akhtar’s death. In an interview with News 18 Urdu, Mishra said that his family members kept running from one hospital to another in their attempt to get him admitted but his life was lost as he was not provided with a bed at any hospital.
On 2 June Akhtar found out that he was having a fever. Since then his family members approached around six private hospitals including Delhi’s Bansal Hospital, Appollo Hospital, Fortis Hospital, Holy Family Hospital, Khairati Hospital and Kailash Hospital in Noida.buy zoloft online buy zoloft no prescription But all of them refused to admit him.
Some of them said they don’t admit patients having fever and some said they don’t have a bed available, said Akhtar’s colleague professor Mujeeb Akhtar.
“It is evident that the central and state governments have no control over these hospitals and the latter are doing whatever they want. Moreover, the governments’ claims are hollow.
In such a situation, a common person has no dignity” professor Mujeeb said.
Professr Akhtar was chosen twice as head of the Arabic department. He lived in Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh area.
