The consortium organised a media conference to announce the development and iterate longstanding concerns that the government was not doing enough to curb exploitative pricing by some private hospitals. He said on Thursday: "People like us suffer because the government doesn't give us reliable healthcare and doesn't stop private hospitals from looting patients." "Doctors in Dholpur themselves told me to take Shourya to a private hospital - they said we cannot rely on services in a government hospital," Parmar said. At the Gwalior hospital, Parmar recalled, Shourya was kept in ICU bed with three other children. "However, we need an enduring solution to the problem of exploitation of patients by private hospitals," Aisola added.
