At least three persons have been suspended after a video of a patient being dragged to X-ray room on a bedsheet went viral. The appalling video, which underlines medical apathy and negligence in our public health system, is of a government medical college in Madhya Pradesh's Jabalpur.

A video posted by news agency ANI shows a hospital attendant dragging the patient on what looks like a bedsheet. Three people were suspended after the video of the incident from Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Medical College (NSCBMC) went viral.

Earlier, a bleeding pregnant woman was taken to a community health centre, after covering a distance of 10 kms, on a motorcycle as the hospital didn’t send an ambulance. According to reports, the appalling incident took place in Jharkhand's Latehar and visuals of the unconscious woman on a motorcycle are being widely circulated on social media.

The 30-year-old woman, identified as Shanti Devi, was driven to the Chandwa community health centre (CHC) on a motorcycle by her husband Kamal Ganjhu.
