Wife drags ailing husband to first floor after Andhra Pradesh hospital denies stretcher

Anantapur: In a shocking incident, a 40-year-old woman was forced to drag her ailing husband on the ramp of a government hospital in Andhra Pradesh after hospital staff allegedly expressed their inability to provide her a stretcher.

The incident took place in Guntakal city in Anantapur district, Andhra Pradesh.

Sree Vani had taken her 45-year-old husband Srinivasa Chary, having symptoms of gastroenteritis, to the hospital.

However, the staff "bluntly" told her that they did not have a stretcher.

This left Vani with no other option but to drag her husband to the first floor of the hospital even as other patients and attendants watched her.
