Experience at the Fair:
Varun and other volunteers from HospitalStandards.org talked to a lot of people from different ages and backgrounds. Most people showed gratitude for creating awareness about the issue. They spoke at length to people from AliveMind. Sambhav from AliveMind.com looked at the hospital standards banner and said, "This takes a lot of courage to put it on a banner. Tell me your story.". AliveMind is a non-profit organization that helps driven and talented individuals. AliveMind is now a proud supporter of HospitalStandards.org.
Varun met up with many older people who were getting their medical treatments done in India. The issue that was cited most was the raising cost of healthcare in the US. As per Varun Tandon's opinion, hospitals in India are not as tech-savvy as most people might think. In Varun's view, hospitals in India are over-utilized, that puts a lot of pressure on the hospital staff. It is recommended to people without insurance in the US to speak to South Asian Network. They help people through the new “ObamaCare” guidelines.
Support the Petition
HospitalStandards.org volunteers came across a physician who had similar thoughts on the situation of hospital in India. She decided to support it by signing the petition on Change.org. HospitalStandards.org gathered approximately 50 more signatures for the petition. The petition is asking Fortis Healthcare to install a medicine allergy alert system in all of their hospital pharmacies.
