Rajshri Deshpande struggles to admit her COVID-19 positive mother into hospital, calls it a 'shame'

It's been a year since the coronavirus pandemic hit the world. Unfortunately, India is witnessing an intense surge in COVID-19 cases. One of the worst affected states has been Maharashtra, which has now crossed 30,000-mark in terms of COVID cases in the state. Now, actor Rajshri Deshpande highlighted the lack of resources and irresponsibility of the hospitals amid this huge crisis while she was trying to get her mother hospitalised. In a series of tweets, Rajshri shared her plight as she struggled to get a bed in hospital for her mother. She wrote, 'My mom's antigen test was negative but the rtpcr came positive at the govt agency with the wrong age mentioned raising doubts about its authenticity. She gets a bed in a COVID ward with huge efforts and the Govt machinery tells us to be content at least she got a bed.' She added, 'If my 72 year-old diabetic mother, or his or her aging COVID infected parents can not even deserve a bed, then how can we talk about our great governance and healthcare system?! It's painful to realise how my COVID related efforts are being repaid like this.' She added, 'It's not about my hassles, but about many families facing such issues with nowhere to go. The health facilities are crowded, chaotic, badly managed. No saviours for aurangabad!?' In another long note, the actress shared her plight on the difficulty to get hospital beds, confusion in the reports and lack of timely treatment. For the unversed, Rajshri had been one of the 'COVID heroes' from the film industry, helping out numerous people like frontline workers, farmers and the underprivileged during the pandemic.
