Members of the ruling and Opposition in the Legislative Assembly alleged that National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS) of Bengaluru and its director have not been responding to emergency medical cases and often deny admission to patients citing non-availability of ventilators.
During Zero Hour, Hartal Halappa of the BJP raised the issue of non-availability of ventilators in the hospital for the State’s patients and said the hospital denied admission to a gram panchayat member of Sagar taluk, who suffered brain haemorrhage, on the grounds of non-availability of ventilator. The patient was brought from Sagar to NIMHANS on Wednesday but the hospital denied him treatment, Mr. Halappa said.
H.K. Kumaraswamy (JD-S), A.S. Nadahalli (BJP), and several members of ruling and Opposition parties alleged that the director of NIMHANS did not respond to their calls on providing treatment and often cited non-availability of ventilators in the hospital.
The All-India level NEET examination was started a few years ago to counter complaints of corruption during the joint entrance examinations held at the State level. AIDSO had warned the authorities that the solution to the menace of corruption was not changing the examination system, but to investigate the corruption and punish the guilty.
