Bhubaneswar: The Odisha government has warned private hospitals of strict action if found refusing critical services to non-COVID patients
In an official order, the Health Department said that it had come to its notice that some hospitals in the private sector were hesitating to provide critical services such as dialysis, blood transfusion, chemotherapy and institutional deliveries to their regular patients, either on account of fear of contracting COVID-19 or they are keeping their hospitals/clinics closed.
“It is also noticed that many places the hospitals/ clinics are insisting on a COVID-19 test before providing services. This is not acceptable,” the order said.
A designated isolation unit should be set up in all private hospitals and clinics to accommodate suspected critical patients until they are stable enough to be transferred to COVID hospitals after testing, it further said.
“Non-compliance will be viewed seriously and action as per provisions of law, including cancellation of the registration of the defaulter hospital/nursing home will be initiated without further notice,” the order added
