Karnataka Health Minister cautions private hospitals over unnecessary C section for financial gain - Video

Karnataka Health and Family Welfare Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao on Monday cautioned private hospitals across the state against conducting unnecessary caesarean deliveries for financial gain, asserting that strict action would be taken against those found violating medical norms. Such violations can attract penalties of up to ₹50,000 and even cancellation of registration under the KPME Act

Responding to a question raised by JD(S) member Govinda Raju in the Legislative Council, the minister said that no private hospitals have yet been formally identified for performing unwarranted C-sections, and the District Karnataka Private Medical Establishment (KPME) Registration and Grievance Redressal Authorities have not received any complaints from the public regarding such practices.
