It’s been a piece of news recently(23/05/'15) that the letter of 8 years old Tayyaba and
Mr. Modi’s response to it.
The news said she needed money of 15 to 20 lakhs of Indian rupee for her heart surgery that wasn’t affordable by the family who falls below poverty line. And on getting the letter Mr. Modi took immediate action that the Govt. assured all the expense that she needed. And news says our PM is great, generous…
But do you expect an 'average' family who falls above the poverty line can afford the cost?!
Go through the given Indian Income Pyramid. 997 Million Of our population certainly can’t afford a cost like this. And we have similar Tayyabas quiet a lot! Everyone has the right to live.
If we have ENOUGH hospitals in PUBLIC SECTOR with these facilities (in fact we have a few say Medical Colleges) in low cost (have also been achieved,
eg:http://www.surgeryinindia.in/heart-surgery-in-india.php ,http://www.sctimst.ac.in/FAQs/ (question 8)) there wouldn’t have been such a hot news for media!...
