On the other hand, parallel audits and in-depth analysis of other health insurance schemes that were conducted showed that below 30 years of age, cases of uterus removal or hysterectomy surgeries are very minimal. Jagannathan added that 1.5 lakh women below the age of 35 years have availed general health insurance cover. Out of these, just 7 women, below the age of 35 had undergone uterus removal on account of trauma which were mainly due to accidents. A policy-holder by the name Meena Kumari, had to undergo uterus removal on account of accidental trauma, but already had a child which is a God saving grace for her family. But like her there are many such women who have lost chances of child-bearing on account of fraudulent activities by certain hospitals for their personal gains.

Just not the government but we educated and responsible citizen should come forward and act firmly for the malpractices that cost life. Money is important and very vital but at the cost of life???? Doctors whom we refer as life saver are taking away the life, whom to trust?
We all are forgetting, we are living in IT world where by one click we can have the information what we want, so before taking any major decision get as much as information and then decide ehat to be done... do not beleive some one with close eyes just because some one is doctor or lawyer... they all are here to eat our flesh and money...
