New Delhi: The Delhi High Court Monday sought response of three major private hospitals here on a plea alleging violation of court order on providing free treatment to 25 per cent OPD and 10 per cent IPD patients from the economically weaker section (EWS) category. The three hospitals have been allotted land by the government at subsidised rates and are mandated under the Delhi law to provide free treatment to EWS category patients.
Justice Siddharth Mridul observed that earlier directions of the court have to be complied with and free treatment should be provided to EWS patients.
The court issued notice to the managing director of Mool Chand Khairati Ram Trust, which runs Mool Chand Hospital, Chairman of St Stephen's Hospital and Chief Executive Officer of Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute and Research Centre.
It listed the matter for further hearing on October 23.
