Deputy Commissioner asks experts to intensify testing, tracing, and treatment
Dakshina Kannada in-charge Minister Kota Srinivas Poojary on Saturday asked private hospital not to deny treatment to patients with Ayushman Arogya Karnataka cards who approach them under emergency just because they do not have referral from the government hospital concerned.
He was speaking at a meeting on treatment to COVID-19 patients at private hospitals in Athena Hospital here. In such a situation, private hospitals should get the referral from government doctors electronically through Arogya Mitra workers designated for the particular private hospital.
Mr. Poojary reiterated that private hospitals should reserve 50% of their beds for COVID-19 patients being referred from government hospitals. The discharge summaries of patients getting discharged from private hospitals should be attested by nodal officers concerned.
