Mr Ameer Hamija Rattihalli aged 46 a resident of Puttur, suffered a heart attack and was admitted to a Hospital in Mangalore on 10/6/15 for treatment. Since this hospital does not cover BPL card (Vajpayee Arogya scheme – a Government scheme for the below poverty line people) the patient was shifted to Indiana Hospital for treatment. Here he successfully underwent an Angioplasty under the care of Dr. Yusuf Kumble, Chief Interventional Cardiologist and Managing Director of Indiana Hospital. To his ill luck his BPL card had not been renewed and his documents were not in order so his cashless claim was rejected. Mr Ameer was unable to pay the full dues to the hospital due to his bad financial condition.
