Nod to admit fresh COVID cases revoked
Close on the heels of acting against five private hospitals for harassing patients in these troubled times, the State government has booked five more private hospitals in the State on Saturday on charges of collecting excess and irrelevant tariff against the prescribed norms, mismanagement and lack of proper attention on COVID patients. The permission given to them for admitting new COVID patients was also withdrawn. In a statement, Director of Public Health G. Srinivasa Rao said the hospitals against which action was taken were – Image Hospital in Ameerpet, Ankura Hospital in L.B.Nagar, Sia Life Hospital in Kondapur (all in Hyderabad), Panchavati Hospital, Bhoothpur (Mahabubnagar) and Sai Siddartha Hospital in Sangareddy. However, they were allowed to complete the treatment course to patients already admitted before discharging them.More Related News
