"Treatment of a Pakistani patient in an Indian hospital is understandable but shifting of the helpless rape victim to Singapore speaks about the quality of medi-care in a country of 1.21 billion people. This is a sad story for Indian nation which boasts of infrastructure development and advances made in health sector," they questioned.
