Bengaluru: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar called for putting an end to the nexus between ambulance drivers and private hospitals.
Speaking after dedicating 262 new ambulances, he said, "The ambulance drivers have an underhand pact with private hospitals and they take all accident patients to private hospitals instead of government hospitals."
"There are so many such incidents. Once they are taken to private hospitals, patients end up paying huge bills while they could have received treatment in a government hospital at a much lower price.
