The minister also stated that private hospitals will have to face serious consequences, including the filing of criminal cases if they were found charging more than the government capped prices.
ಕೋವಿಡ್ ಸೋಂಕಿತರ ಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆಗೆ ಖಾಸಗಿ ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಗಳು ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಜೊತೆ ಕೈಜೋಡಿಸಬೇಕಿದೆ. ಇಂದು ಅಪೋಲೊ ಮತ್ತು ವಿಕ್ರಂ ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಯ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಕ್ರಿಮಿನಲ್ ಮೊಕದ್ದಮೆ ಹೂಡಲಾಗಿದ್ದು, 2 ದಿನಗಳ ಕಾಲ OPD ವಿಭಾಗವನ್ನು ಮುಚ್ಚಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಅಸಹಕಾರ ತೋರುವ ಯಾವುದೇ ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಯದರೂ ನಿರ್ದಾಕ್ಷಿಣ್ಯ ಕಾನೂನು ಕ್ರಮ ಕೈಗೊಳ್ಳುವುದು ನಿಶ್ಚಿತ.@BSYBJP pic.twitter.com/p4HXGPVETX
