More than fifty angry people were shouting “Kejriwal murdabad” and protesting outside Max Hospital in Shalimar Bagh under the midday sun on Saturday. Reason? Patients and their families don’t know where else to go, now that they are being denied treatment at the hospital.

The license of the hospital was cancelled by the Delhi government on Friday, a week after doctors erroneously declared a living newborn dead.

While some feel this will be a deterrent for private hospitals to stop functioning irresponsibly and is a good move by the Kerjiwal government, others believe it’s a knee-jerk reaction which will do more harm than good.

So, what about the people who are regular patients there? What about emergencies that reach the hospital? How does this sudden cancellation affect people on the ground?
