Amid demonetisation, this Delhi doctor couple is accepting old notes, treating patients for free

Amid the 50 days of demonetisation and the severe cash crunch that a majority of citizens are still facing, an ununsual poster in Delhi's Sadar Bazaar area gives them some respite. Written in Hindi, this is what the poster says:

"Don't worry if you have old notes or even no money, we will treat you,"

It also provides an address to the clinic where Dr Sardan Khan and his wife, Dr Saira Khan are seeing patients.

The duo are not just accepting old notes from patients, but are also treating some who have no cash. As it turns out, patients called the clinic to ask if they were accepting older notes for consultation and medicines. The duo didn't even think before telling them that even if they have no money, they can come and get treated for free.

"My wife and I have been doing charity work for more than 15 years and realised that people are facing hardships due to shortage of currency and so we put up the sign," Dr Khan who runs the Unani and Ayurveda clinic with his wife, told NDTV.
