Lucknow, India – On April 14, Ashish Shrivastav, 39, joined a 70-year-old father who was complaining of shortness of breath in a small dwarf car and was taken to Vivekanand Hospital in Lucknow, the state capital of Uttar Pradesh.
At the hospital, his father, Sushil Kumar, tested positive for COVID-19, but despite his age and vulnerability, the hospital told him he could not enter because there was no bed.
Ashish, who runs a private rehabilitation center for children with disabilities, said she asked doctors to admit her father, but was told to go to a government-run hospital.
