Without an Aadhaar registration, new-borns in Bhopal’s Sultania hospital are being refused discharge. In no uncertain terms, a dictate by hospital administration, instructs hospital staff, ward in-charge and security guards, not to allow new-borns to leave hospital premises unless registration unique ID is produced. The largest maternity hospital in Madhya Pradesh, has anywhere between 50 to 70 delivery per day, leading to long queues and inconvenience for hundreds.
“My wife had a caesarean operation. How does the hospital expect a patient to stand in queue and get an Aadhaar card made for newborn,” said Narendra Thakur.
