Kolkata: At a time when Apollo Gleneagles Hospital in the city is under the scanner for alleged medical negligence and malpractices, Apollo Groups managing director Preetha Reddy admitted to lapses in the hospitals healthcare delivery in the last few months.
Reddy told reporters after a meeting with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at the state secretariat that the level of care had indeed deteriorated in the last one and a half months.
"Apollo has treated nine million people from West Bengal and in the last one and a half months the level of care was not what it had been," she said.
Reddy said, "We stand for quality, we are committed to quality... Sometimes the system does not adhere to that level of quality and anybody has to correct it... We have a whole team which is going to be able to do that."
Reddy also hailed the chief ministers initiative to set up the West Bengal Health Regulatory Commission, saying all hospitals have to meet what the CM wants.
