Summary:
The Union Health Ministry has decided to name those facilities which are not up to the mark on various parameters, including sanitation, waste management and infection control under its 'Kayakalp' initiative. Nadda said that 'Kayakalp' programme was launched by the health ministry following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call to the people of India to realise Mahatma Gandhi's dream of Swachh Bharat (Clean India). The ministry, to fix accountability at various levels, will declare names of hospitals to which patients have not given positive feedback through its Mera Aspataal (My Hospital) app. "From next year, we will not only name and award hospitals which perform very well under the Kayakalp initiative but will also name those health facilities which will not perform up to the mark on various parameters, including sanitation, waste management and infection control," Union Health Minister J P Nadda said on Thursday while giving away awards under the initiative. Similarly, doctors from those hospitals will come to the premier institute in the Capital and undergo training here..
