Fortis healthcare, one of the leading super-speciality hospital chains of India has offered free treatment to Sarabjit Singh, the Indian prisoner in Pakistan battling for life.
Col Harinder Singh Chahal, Regional Director (North), Fortis Healthcare, said that the Mohali based multi- speciality unit of Fortis Group is ready to treat Sarabjit free of cost if the Indian government would bring him back for treatment. “It would be logistically easy to shift the patient to Mohali hospital as its location is relatively closer to other major hospitals in the country,” Chahal said.
Dr Amit Mandal, Head of the Critical Care unit, said the hospital is fully equipped to comprehensively treat critical cases like the one in Sarabjit’s.
49-year-old Sarabjit is in comma and undergoing treatment at the Jinnah hospital in Lahore after he sustained several injuries, including a skull fracture, when prisoners attacked him in Kot Lakhpat Jail on Friday.
Meanwhile, Pakistan has said that the “best possible care” is being given to Indian death row convict Sarabjit Singh – comatose in a Lahore hospital after a brutal assault – and that there are no plans to move him abroad.
