Hi, My father is a HIV patient and is getting treatment from Art Center at Jallandhar. We belong to Pathankot. A new Art Center has just started at Pathankot Civil Hospital. The doctor at Jallandhar has shifted ws to Pathankot Art center for treatment but we wanted to continue for treatment at Jallandhar. kindly suggest, can doctors at Jullandhar forcefully shift us to Pathankot for treatment or is it our choice for Art Center at another city, inspite of having Art Center at our own city?
