‘Govt. should come up with new legislation as existing laws are inadequate’
The Health Department is constrained by legal limitations while taking action against the illegal advertisements on allergy testing camps, being carried on front pages of major daily newspapers in the State quite regularly now.
These ads urge suspected patients to give away their blood samples at a rate of ₹3,600 at designated labs in each district. Results are promised in a month and further treatment will be offered if additional charges are paid. The ads are placed by Jerath Path Labs & Allergy Testing Centre, Specialty Diagnostic Laboratories, based in Chennai.
