Yashoda Hospital bought electoral bonds, not among COVID overchargers

Yashoda Super Specialty Hospital, a Ghaziabad-based healthcare company, has purchased electoral bonds amounting to Rs 162 crore. Managed by Upasana Arora and Prem Narayan Arora, the healthcare company offers its services in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR).

Private hospitals have gained a reputation for their hefty medical charges, making their surprising multimillion-dollar donations to a political party particularly noteworthy. Not just Yasodha Super Speciality Hospital, there are several other Hospitals, and pharma companies on the list too. These include Sun Pharma Laboratories Limited, Cipla, Dr Reddys Laboratories Limited, Ajanta Pharma Ltd, and more.

Fact Check

A news clip circulating on social media purports to show a hospital, previously accused of price-gouging during the Covid pandemic, making a sizable donation to a political party.

The Hyderabad-based hospital accused of overcharging Covid patients was Yashoda Healthcare Services Private Limited (YHSPL), founded by Ravender Rao, Surender Rao, and Devender Rao— renowned for operating three multispecialty hospitals in the city, specializing in tertiary and quaternary healthcare. In contrast, it was the Yashoda Super Specialty Hospital based in Ghaziabad that purchased electoral bonds.
