Millat Nursing Home in Jogeshwari West
A single Coronavirus case has put 128 kidney dialysis patients in jeopardy. An infected staff at Millat Nursing Home in Jogeshwari West on April 5 resulted in authorities shutting down the hospital. Now, dialysis patients and their relatives are running pillar to post looking for alternatives and have also been told to get tested.
"My 56-years-old sister Shahjahan needs dialysis thrice in a week. When I took her to the nursing home on Monday, they gave us a letter asking other hospitals to help us. They have asked my sister to get tested for Coronavirus as well. My first priority is to get her dialysis done. But despite visiting numerous hospitals, we haven't found an alternative," said Fahim Ansari.
