Summary:
The Maharashtra government has issued show cause notices four prominent private hospitals in Mumbai for not following rules with regard to COVID-19 treatment and warned of strict action against hospitals violating norms. The state government has instructed private hospitals to publicly display the number of available beds all times. The state government found out during inspections that private hospitals are returning patients despite the availability of beds. I found that the implementation was not up to the mark at some places and show cause notices have been issued," Tope said in a statement. At some hospitals, rate cards as decided by the state government for treatment of patients were not displayed, it said..
