In the video, he said that after he tested positive for Covid-19, he did not want to get admitted in a government hospital because he did believe that he would receive quality care there, even though he did not have the money to get treatment at a private hospital.

Suresh said, “One of my friends informed authorities at TIMS and asked them to provide me a bed, but I was not ready to get admitted there. However, I received a call from the RMO of the hospital, who assured me that they would provide proper attention and care. I got admitted and did not face any problems. From medical care to sanitation, everything was good.”
