A portal for hospitals and investors - The game changer

Amrit Pal Singh, Founder & CEO, hospitalforsalelease.com, speaks about the vision behind starting the company.

Is there a personal story that motivated you to start the portal? 

Yes, it was my mother’s demise due to flaws in the healthcare system that moved me to start https://hospitalforsalelease.com. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, stage 1, by a leading corporate hospital. We were informed there were no hospital beds available for the next three months. The reason was my mother was an ECHS empanelled patient.

I had no option but to go for alternative medical treatment. Those doctors kept treating my mother for the next one year with absolute confidence and guaranteed results. But when her condition started deteriorating, she was rushed back to the corporate hospital. After diagnosis, they declared that she was in the last stage of cancer and they must start the treatment to save her life.

The hospital immediately admitted her, did chemotherapy and all other treatments. However, after one and a half month of being admitted to the hospital, she died. I was in a shock that even after paying a huge amount for medication, treatment and ICU admission she died in just one and a half month because that corporate hospital gave us hope that things were improving daily. If the hospital would have given her the hospital bed and started her treatment when she was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer, she would have been alive today.

Other patients also suffer the same way. I was moved by the plight of patients who have to undergo unwanted lab tests, ICU admissions, expensive medications, unwanted surgeries, unwanted implants in the body, huge patient bills and unwanted medical insurance claims. At the same time, I saw the plight of hospitals and their management under stress and in massive financial losses, forcing them to fleece patients.
