Mumbai A woman from UAE has alleged that Emirates refused to pay her hospital bill after she was admitted to Nanavati Hospital following an epilepsy attack she suffered during an emergency landing last week. Hawa Maye Omar (41), who suffered the attack after the emergency landing of the Mumbai-Dubai Emirates flight (EK507) in the city on July 27 following a fuel leakage, alleged she was forcibly given “unnecessary treatment” at the hospital.
Omar, who was in Mumbai on vacation, alleges she was cheated by both the airline’s staff and the hospital. “I was going to Dubai when I fell unconscious after the flight made an emergency landing in Mumbai. When I gained consciousness, I found myself in this hospital. A woman employee of Emirates who was with me at the hospital assured me that the medical bills would be taken care of by the airline. On Friday, I requested the hospital authorities to discharge me. However, they told me that I cannot leave the hospital unless my bills are cleared. The officials from the airlines had later refused to pay the bills and so I was not allowed to leave the hospital.”
