Govt order on price cap for Covid care: HC gives ultimatum to Telangana

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: The Telangana High Court on Wednesday gave one last chance to the state government to issue an order for capping maximum prices for diagnostic and treatment services, and medical equipment provided to treat Covid-19 patients in private hospitals and nursing homes. On Wednesday, Mr. Rizvi, secretary of medical, health and family welfare appeared before the court and sought another four weeks to issue the GO on the ground that the government was holding meetings with various nursing homes and private hospitals associations to arrive at a final capping price. For the last one month, this court has been allowing the government, assuming that a GO will be issued and during this interregnum, poor patients are being ripped apart by some rogue nursing homes and private hospitals every day. The division bench took on record the contentions put forth by Dr. G. Srinivas Rao, director public health and family welfare, Telangana, that the 14 RT PCR labs established in different districts of the state will commence their operations by June 10 as the ICMR had to issue log in credentials for commencing the testing.
