( 1 ) THIS application has been moved to bring to our attention that a child, namely, Sonu, D/o Shri Dhayan Singh, R/o D-53, MCD Colony, Azadpur, Delhi, aged 9 years, had been referred to Bara Hindu Rao Hospital under the economic weaker section category. The child was not treated at Bara Hindu Rao Hospital but was referred to Escorts Heart Institute and Research Centre, which also refused to take care of the child on account of the child suffering from an infectious disease. It is prayed that the hospitals be directed to comply with the directions of land allotment and to give appropriate treatment to the child. Today, learned counsel for Escort Heart Institute and Research Centre is present and submits that the child has been admitted to Bara Hindu Rao Hospital and is being treated for the infection. He submits that as far as her heart condition is concerned, Escorts Hospital will depute a team of heart specialists, who will attend to the child and take care of her condition at Bara hindu Rao Hospital. He also assures this Court that the child, if cleared of the infection is referred to Escorts Heart Institute and Research Centre for any further treatment in respect of heart condition, the same shall also be afforded to her, as required. ( 2 ) HAVING received this undertaking from learned counsel for Escorts hospital, we feel that the child will be adequately looked after. We, however, direct the Medical Superintendent, Bara Hindu Rao Hospital to join the team of specialists of the Escorts Hospital during examination of the child. The child shall be examined by the specialists today. The application stands disposed of.
