Sister Carries Disabled Brother to Guna Hospital Ward
A woman named Krishnabai took her brother Jagdish to a hospital in Raghogarh.
Jagdish has been unwell for about a year and cannot walk.
Krishnabai said she waited for a stretcher or help from hospital workers.
She said no help arrived for a long time, so she carried him to the ward.
A video that reportedly shows this later appeared.
The hospital said it had enough stretchers and workers to help move patients.
Hospital officials also said families sometimes carry patients themselves instead of asking staff.
The two accounts have raised questions about how easy it was to get help.
A video purportedly shows Krishnabai carrying her brother Jagdish on her shoulders to a hospital ward in Raghogarh, Guna district.
Krishnabai said Jagdish, who has been unwell for about a year and cannot walk, needed treatment.
She said she expected a stretcher or staff assistance but waited without receiving help.
The hospital administration denied there was a shortage of stretchers and said staff are assigned to move patients.
The differing accounts have prompted questions about whether assistance was accessible to the family.
