Gurugram: Govt takes over 6 leading private hospitals effective immediately
Gurugram: Battling the rising cases of coronavirus in the area, the Gurugram District Magistrate has ordered the immediate requisitioning of 6 private hospitals in a bid to add 600 beds for coronavirus. While several private hospitals have come forward and working alongside the government in battling the epidemic, this is the first time when the government has moved to effectively take over a private facility.
With this takeover, the effective control of these private hospitals will rest in government hands. The government along with the hospital infrastructure has also requisitioned its manpower including medical and paramedical staff.
As per a recent notification signed by Gurugram DM, Shri Amit Khatri, the move comes in light of the fact that the government was trying to set up a dedicated COVID-19 facility at Medeor hospital Manesar, but the same is taking the time and the government is in need of 600 beds for COVID-19 treatment
