In India not only are the women unsafe but also their WOMBS
RSBY( Rashtiya Swasthya Bima Yojana ) or National Health Insurance Scheme is viewed as a " Path-breaking Scheme"by the World Bank.Under RSBY the BPl families are entitled to free medical treatment upto Rs 30,000 a year. It is a god-send benefit to the ailing poor. But in reality it is a devil-send opportunity to some doctors and hospitals.
The weekly THE WEEK's investigation in Samastipur district of Bihar and Dausa district of Rajasthan reveal startling facts of large scale uterus robbery .Most of the victims are women in younger age -groups. A woman with stomach pain approaches a doctor and the advice is" This pain could lead to cancer and a life-saving surgery would help you " the doctor robs her uterus and a neat sum of Rs 16,000. In some cases hospitals would swipe the RSBY cards without doing any procedure. There were also names of men and dead persons in the RSBY registry. The hospitals were in a hurry to collect quick money. A report of the Samastipur district magistrate shows that of the 14,851 procedures during 2010-2012, 5,503 ( about 37%) were hysterectomies.
A young man filed a case against a hospital after his twenty-year old wife was subjected to hysterectomy following failed Caesarian section (?). The crestfallen couple filed a case and they alleged that the police has threatened with criminal action if the affected couple pursued the case. Great policing.
PREDATORS OF THE POOR ARE ALL AROUND US LIKE WOLVES. SOME ARE DOCTORS.
