Hi Seniors,
One staff of our organisation brought his wife to ESIC Hospital for emergency treatment. But unfortunately the attending doctor refused to attend her due to shortage of doctor and support staff and forced to admit her in outside nursing home. So, plz guide me where to complain and what is the procedure?

1. Dear member, I think, there may be some reasons for not attending to the patient in emergency by the ESIC Hospital. Boss 2966 in his remarks as above has rightly raised some doubts on the issue.
2. However, all ESIC/ESIS hospital work under the guidance and control of Medical Commissioner, ESIC, Hqrs. New Delhi. You can find his e-mail from the website of ESIC and can ask proper and immediate action in the matter in case you were eligible for the medical treatment. In case, no satisfactory reply is received, you can further make representation to the Director General, ESIC, Hqrs. New Delhi.

First of all I am thankful to BOSS2966, Mr. Sibal, Mr. Madanagopalaswamy and Mr. Mehta for your valuable opinion. And I am agreed with BOSS2966. It's really short of information. I am clarify your quarry as follows :
1. Yes, He (IP) is fully eligible for getting super-specialty facility from ESIC, and he has valid ESIC Pehchan Card for him and his family.
2. Actually she is pregnant and some serious problem happened on night. So, there was no time to wait for day time.
3. The attending doctor told that there was no sufficient provision for treatment of her and for better treatment and save the life of mother and baby it's need to admit her any private nursing home. He was also suggest a name of nearby nursing home. He even also not checked or did any first aid her. Just wrote some medicine and said him (IP) to take back.
4. At that time he was not in such mental condition to ask about the claiming procedure and. He was just confused and immediately took her to the nearby nursing home, that doctor suggested.
5. His mistake was that, he didn't inform that incident
Hope, it will be sufficient for clarification. Again thanks to all for giving such helpful advice.

Dear member, it is very bad state of affairs of ESIC Hospital as narrated by you. If you desire, you can report the matter to the ESIC Hqrs. Medical Commissioner as well as Director General, ESIC about the treatment conditions in the said Hospital and can ask for immediate remedial measures so that any other insured person/insured woman and their family members may not suffer such harassment and mental tension. With best wishes.

Dear Subrata, Since you posted the matter on Cite HR, it is understood that you are a literate person knowing what you are writing, so I did't felt it right to teach you the clerical procedure, and informed to contact local office of ESIC where the IP is attached, since now you have been guided and you understood the system, kindly bear in mind that in any emergencies, the ESIC hospital are always open 24x7 all over India and any IP or his / her family members who are enrolled to get treatment, can easily get admitted or given medicines as the attending Doctor feel fit the case, so no need to go to private nursing homes, even one can go to the government hospital in case of emergencies, which are equally admissible in ESIC claims. Although it is not a fit to mention here, that some times, attending Doctors are hand-in-gloves with nursing homes. No need to write elaborately. Any one can understand by referring such happenings being reported in daily new papers.
