It pays to stay in the city. In a shocking example of BMC's step-motherly treatment, the civic body has refused to send swine flu test kits to hospitals outside Mumbai city limits.
Even as Mumbai got 18 swine flu testing centres, with the death toll at 17 and number of positive cases at 1,193 , neighbouring Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) has had no help in dealing with their cases.
Not a single swine flu testing kit was sent to Wockhardt Hospital, Kalyan, for a 13-year-old patient with suspected swine flu.
