Profit should not supersede humanity: Kejriwal to hospitals

September 15, 2015 22:04

In the wake of reports claiming that private hospitals were turning away dengue patients, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today said that though his government was working towards making the city a 'business hub', profit should not supersede humanity.

Referring to the death of a seven-year-old boy due to dengue after being denied admission by various hospitals in the national capital, Kejriwal said, "It is very heartbreaking.. I feel very sad after hearing such incidents."

"In the mad race to earn profit, one should not become blind. If the hospitals would have treated him, would it have made the turnover of hospitals suffer?"
