All India Institute Of Medical Science [AIIMS] — serious patient not being admitted for surgery.

Address:New Delhi, Delhi, 110025

Visited aiims on[protected] with patient mrs. Ishrat jahan.
Heart patient advised bypass and valve replacement by fortis escorts in okhla. Met cardiologists and surgeons, mostly refusing the case because of financial constraints of the family. Packages ranging from 6 lacs - 8 lacs are being given for the treatment with no upper limit.
Advised to take her to aiims as family cant bear such expense and there is no insurance.
Met cardiologist dr. V k bahl. (Hod) aiims, new delhi.
He saw the file and reffered the case to ctvs. He agrees the surgery is very risky and surgoeon will refuse.
Met ctvs. Dr. A k bisoi same day.
Arteries 100% blocked with ef-20%.
Surgeon refused to see the patient, talked very rudely and asked to take her to private hospital fortis saying there are 1000 patients outside waiting for the surgery. There is too much risk involved in the case also. Requested to give time when the surgery can be performed, rudely refused.
Want to ask the government that in such a prestigious institute like aiims,
Should the patient be refused and left to die at home in such severe heart condition? Thousand are waiting outside in opds everyday waiting for their turn to see the doctors eventually getting such responses from the so called best doctors in the country?
The same patient when approached the doctor at apollo through general category and paid rs.2000 for consultation, is treated by the surgeon politely and given a package of 6.5 lacs +. The same patient after 15 days when approaches the same doctor through free opd after getting the letter from the ministry because of financial issues, the surgeon is the rudest way possible refuse to take the case through free opd stating he cant waste a day on her for free.

Is there any place for the citizen of india having financial problems in any private hospital or institute like aiims. Or he/she should be left with general physicians to die at home.
Can we expect any change or action from the government towards the medical emergencies people of india are going through?

Can anything be done for the case?

Thanks
