Doctor — discrimination against echs patients

Address:

122001

I had sought an appointment with Dr Rajiv Goel, Urologist for 1100 hrs on 02 Jul 19. I arrived at the appointed time and produced my ECHS Card for payments. I was informed that the doctor would not see me as he had already seen two ECHS Patients. He would be able to see me only if a paid the amount applicable for Maruti Suzuki of which i am also presently an employee of. After my insistence the matter was escalated to the CMO who facilitated Dr Rajiv Goel seeing me. I have never encountered such a precedence before which is a reflection of the hospital towards ECHS Patients.
