Union Home Minister Shri Sushilkumar Shinde said on the condition of the gang rape victim, “We are all aware of the critical condition of victim. Since the day of the incident, it has been our endeavor to provide her the best of medical care. Despite the best efforts of our Doctors, the victim continues to be critical and her fluctuating health remains a big cause of concern to all of us. Government had stated that it will spare no effort for her treatment. Therefore, when we were advised by a team of Doctors that she may be shifted abroad for treatment, the Government decided to meet all the costs thereof. Considering the travel time, the doctors have suggested Mt Elizabeth Hospital, Singapore. Government have ordered India’s High Commissioner in Singapore to make necessary arrangements. Indian Doctors have spoken to the Doctors of the said Hospital and shared the details of the patient. Arrangements have also been made for the family to accompany her as the treatment may stretch to many weeks.”
