The Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC) took action against Orchid Multispecialty Hospital and two pathology labs in Mira Road and filed an FIR for issuing fake COVID-19 reports in the twin city. The hospital along with the help of two pathology labs manipulated COVID swab test reports and defrauded patients, official said.
The health department officials received information that the hospital in association with the pathology labs along with generating fake positive reports, reported some cases falsely, terming mild and moderate cases as severe ones to get them admitted in their establishments with the sole intention of minting money under the guise of treatment, officials said.
Junior doctors stage a silent protest at the GMCH on Wednesday.
GUWAHATI: Doctors on Wednesday boycotted OPD services, as healthcare in the testing time of Covid suffered a major jolt with widespread protests against the assault of a doctor in Hojai. The Indian Medical Association (IMA) Assam chapter has further threatened to boycott Covid duty from Thursday if the state government fails to deploy armed police in Covid care facilities and assure fast-track trial of the culprits in three months.
At the call of the Assam Medical Service Association (Amsa), another leading association of doctors, and supported by IMA, the OPD boycott protests started from Wednesday morning. We are going to withdraw OPD services from Wednesday so that people realise the importance of doctors. Next time, if any such incident of assault on any health worker takes place, we will immediately cease all services, Amsa said in a statement.
