Punjab Minister Slams Mohali Hospital Over Negligence Allegations
The Punjab Education Minister, Harjot Bains, is upset with Max Hospital in Mohali.
He says the hospital treated patients badly, making them wait outside instead of helping them quickly.
He saw an elderly woman from another state kept in an ambulance for a long time even though the emergency room was empty.
