In the second wave of Covid, from pharmacies to ambulance operators and from private labs to those selling medical equipment, humanity has been humiliated. When people were pleading to save the lives of their loved ones, all the responsibilities collected a lot from the helpless patients and relatives. The recovery was also not fixed like this, but by charging up to 500 times more than the fixed price, the patients and the attendants were rendered dead. Community social media platform Local Circle has prepared such a report by surveying 389 districts of the country, which will make the people of the country bow their heads in shame.

However, during this period, 14 percent of people also mentioned that some shopkeepers gave all these devices to the people at a discount from the MRP.

According to the data of the survey team for ambulances, 50 percent of the people were charged up to 500 percent more than the fare fixed for the ambulance.

 

10 times the price charged for Remdesivir and FabiFlu

 

Reports suggest that there was loot for drugs all over the country. Many of these medicines were such that later the Indian Council of Medical Research and the Task Force team formed to monitor Covid did not consider it effective in Covid. But the patients had to struggle a lot for the medicines prescribed by the doctors. Reports suggest that drugs like Remdesivir and FabiFlu cost patients up to 10 times more. The medicine which was available in the market for thousand rupees was sold for more than 10,000 rupees.
