COVID-19: SC Tells Centre To Identify Hospitals For Providing Free Treatment

New Delhi: The Supreme Court (SC) has asked the Indian government to identify private hospitals where coronavirus-infected patients can get free treatment or at a nominal cost.

The Chief Justice S.A. Bobde-headed bench observed on Wednesday during a hearing via video-conferencing that there are several hospitals which have been granted land by state governments either free of cost or at a nominal rate. Such hospitals should provide free treatment to Covid-19 patients, said the apex court, reports PTI.

“You identify all those hospitals and find out,” Solicitor General Tushar Mehta was told by the three-member bench which also included Justices A.S. Bopanna and Hrishikesh Roy.

The matter was posted for hearing one week later.
