Andhra Axes 6 Private Hospitals For Violations

The State government had taken action against six hospitals which were treating the covid 19 patients and found guilty of violations.

The sleuths of the Vigilance and Enforcement Department have conducted raids on the private hospitals to ensure that they follow the price list given by the government in treating the covid 19 patients.

The Vigilance sleuths found that six hospitals have violated the norms and were guilty of indulging in several irregularities.

The government had cancelled the permission given to one hospital to deal with the covid 19 cases, while it had imposed heavy penal amount.

The vigilance officials conducted raids on over 30 hospitals across the state and found several irregularities, including collection of more fee from patients, misuse of beds etc.

The government had already instructed the private hospitals to strictly adhere to the rules, guidelines and the price list while dealing with the covid 19 patients. 

It was in the absence of these guidelines, the management of a corporate cardiac hospital in Vijayawada escaped punishment even after a fire mishap killing 11 covid 19 patients in 2020.
