Mumbai: J.J Hospital staff demands bribe from HIV+ve patients

[Guest guest]

Dear Forum,

I would like to inform that since Dec 2010 there is no doctor at ART centre run

by J.J hospital Mumbai. Staff Nurse and Counsellor is giving ART medicines to

the patients.

Dr. Alka Despanmde H.O.D of ART centre is getting retired on 15 Jan 2011. Her

PA  Vaishali Madam is collecting money from ART patients saying that she had

given you Rs.5000 medicines and you cant give her atleast Rs.20.

WE have strong proof about this. Infact MDACS is informed about this but they

are scared to take action.

I want NACO and MDACS to take strong action agansit this practice

In solidarity

Roma Jana
