• The minimum expenditure for admitted patients is Rs
10,004 and the maximum Rs 19,85,428. Mean expenditure
in the isolation ward is Rs 1,25,429 for a single room and Rs
4,57,447 in ICU. The expenditure rose with increase in age
of patient, said Dr Atul Kakar, author of the study. Kakar is a
senior consultant at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital. The
researchers collated real time hospitalization cost for 209
patients admitted at SGRH from January 1 to March 31,
2015, to confirm this. Doctors said this is the first report
giving fair information on the economic impact of H1N1
influenza. However, the actual economic burden of H1N1
could be much higher as the study could not take into
account absenteeism from work or school and decrease in
pro duction and tourism.
