Started a fortnight ago, it is now gearing up for a ‘third wave’
Set up a fortnight ago, amid the raging pandemic crisis, the temporary field hospital and the two makeshift COVID care centres in the Millennium City, with a combined strength of 600 beds, run thin on occupancy as the wave of the deadly virus subsides, but these facilities now gear up for a possible third wave and may remain in place till next year.
CHANDIGARH – To stop overcharging for Covid-19 treatment by private hospitals, Health Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu directed all Civil Surgeons to ensure the display of treatment charges that should not exceed the capping proposed by the Punjab Government.
Sidhu clarified that no private hospital could charge more than the notified treatment charges and if anyone took more than the government notified rates, such a person could complain to the DC or Civil Surgeon concerned. The government has already issued the instructions to district administrations in this regard.
The minister said it had been brought to his notice that even after directions issued by the government, some hospitals had been overcharging Covid patients. He said that taking notice of such incidents, FIRs have been registered against the private hospitals across the state under Epidemic Diseases Act and Disaster Management Act. TNS
