These people are very unprofessional. First thing first, my uncle traveled from Kenya and was picked up by a group of brokers who are working with hospital staff to get money from unsuspecting patients. My uncle and his son have been forced to seek advice and guidance from a different hospital in Delhi which charges way less than the amount these goons were asking for. I don't want to speculate and give damning judgments but if the hospital is serious, they ought to do something about it. I urge you all to think twice before coming to this hospital. My love uncle went through a very bad experience and he was ill for quite some time.
