Rajkot hospital bill of one stitch is around Rs 22,857?
The child suffered minor injuries, due to which he was taken to the hospital. Despite getting only 7 stitches, the entire bill from the hospital has reached 1.60 lakhs. If we calculate it like this, the estimated cost of one stitch is Rs. 22,857, which is extremely high for a normal treatment. The surprising thing is that even after getting stitches, the child has not been given any further treatment. The child has not even been admitted, so the patient’s family and the public are surprised about such a huge bill.
