Hyderabad: The High Court on Tuesday directed the State Government to inform the Bench as to whether action has been taken against the Thumbay Hospital, Chaderghat, Hyderabad, which did not discharge Dr Sultana, working as DMO in Fever hospital, for two days as she failed to cough up Rs. 1.5 lakh for her treatment as she was admitted in the hospital for Covid-19. Chief Justice RS Chauhan was referring to various media reports on the issue cited.
The High Court division bench comprising Chief Justice Raghavendra Singh Chauhan and Justice Bollam Vijaysen Reddy hearing on public interest litigation on Tuesday filed by Advocate Srikrishna Sharma seeking a direction to the State government to issue statutory guidelines to the private hospitals which are treating patients affected with Covid-19 and the private hospitals are not billing in a transparent manner to Covid-19 patients.
Chief Justice Chauhan expressed that this is a matter of grave concern. On one hand, the State Government has issued a GO clearly stating that a particular amount has to be charged by them for extending medical aid to Corona patients, but the private hospitals, flouting the GO are charging exorbitantly. 'I am sure that some action might have been taken against such hospitals, if not taken, reasons for not taking action may be spelt out' and called for a report by July 14.
The CJ Bench issued notices to the Principal Secretary, Medical & Health, Commissioner, Medical & Health, National and State Council for Clinical Establishment and the four private hospitals namely, Medicare, Yashoda, Sunshine and Care hospitals directing them to respond to the contentions of the petitioner by next Tuesday.
