We enjoy scandal!!!!
I hope the foreigners pay handsomely. This can grow as medical tourism. We are charged an arm and a leg for treatment in India, RSA etc. The govt must manage this, it wil be a big forex earner for the country. I suggest earnings from this hospital are channeled to improving facilities and resources at our govt run specialised hospitals.
