Valentis Cancer Hospital in Meerut puts Ad saying it will not treat Muslim patients, UP police starts probe

Uttar Pradesh’s Valentis Cancer Hospital in Meerut recently issued an advertisement in a local daily, stating that it would no longer be accepting Muslim patients from Muslim-dominated localities in view of the COVID-19 pandemic.
After the advertisement was brought to the notice of UP Police, a probe was initiated into the matter.
The hospital is a medical facility to treat cancer patients, and its decision to exclude Muslims from treatment would be detrimental to the minorities living in western UP. Further, the exclusion of patients on the basis of religion is violative of the Constitution and may lead to penal charges against the hospital authorities.
After the issue came to light, the Meerut Police ordered the Inchaui police station, under whose jurisdiction the hospital falls, to initiate an inquiry into the case.

Here’s the advertisement and UP police reply:
In its advertisement, the Valentis Hospital referred to the Tablighi Jamaat event held in Delhi’s Nizamuddin locality last month, while announcing a boycott of the Muslim community. The ad states that those Muslims who want to avail treatment at the cancer institute should bring along a certificate which declares them as COVID-19 negative.
In case of medical emergency, medical assistance will be made available on a condition if “patient and the care taker undergo corona infection test after paying 4500/- Rs each”.
The hospital administrator also alleged that “several Muslim patients in the hospital are not co-operating and misbehaving with our staff” referring to alleged incidents attributed to Tableeghi Jamaat members.
The advertisement further added that Muslim professionals, including lawyers, doctors and police officers, living in non-Muslim areas would not be barred from availing the treatment.
The ad also calls for greater contribution to the PM-CARES fund from rich Hindu and Jain families.
Facts to consider for cancer patients amid ongoing coronavirus pandemic
