January 22, 2016

Ballari, Jan 22: Can a government officer be punished for keeping the phone call of a minister on hold and attending to another call?

There is no rule of the kind but reliable sources say a woman officer of the rank of deputy superintendent of police, Ms Anupama Shenoy, posted at Kudligi police sub-division in the district, has been shunted out of the district for keeping the phone call of district-in-charge and labour minister P.T. Parameshwar Naik on hold and speaking to her higher-officer, within a day.

DySPSources said that Ms Shenoy received a call on her mobile phone Monday evening (January 18) from an unknown number and the person at the other end said, “District in-charge minister (wants to) talk to you.”

She reportedly waited for 25 to 30 seconds but there was no response from the other side. In the meantime, she got a call from her higher officer and cut the call of the minister’s aide to speak to her higher-up.

Within few minutes, she received a call again from the unknown number and district in charge minister Mr Naik spoke to her saying, “Can’t (you) hold the phone call for a minute when the district in charge minister is on the line”.

The conversation between them reportedly continued for about 25 minutes and finally, the minister warned her of serious consequences.

The next day, (January 19) night, she got an order transferring her to Athani in Belagavi district and on January 20, she got another order transferring her to Indi in Vijayapura district.

Bengaluru, Aug 6: No private hospital in Karnataka can turn away a patient without attending to him or her, irrespective of the Coronavirus status, an official has said.

"Private medical establishments shall not deny treatment and admission to any patient approaching the establishment irrespective of the fact that such patient may or may not be suffering from Covid-19," an official from the state Health and Family Welfare Department said on Wednesday.

Likewise, no private hospital can insist on a patient for a Covid-19 test report, said the official invoking the Disaster Management Act.

"The establishments also cannot insist for Covid test report," he said, directing all private hospitals to strictly abide by their responsibilities.

According to the department, it is the duty of every private hospital to provide first aid and take lifesaving steps when any patient approaches it.

"It is the duty of every private medical establishment to provide first aid and take lifesaving measures to stabilise the patient," he said.

The department also invoked statutes from Karnataka Medical Establishments Act 2017, under sections 11 and 11 (A) to drive home the message.

The directives assume significance at a time when several cases of private hospitals denying admissions and fleecing patients across the state have emerged.

"It has been noticed that some of the private hospitals are refusing treatment and admission to emergency patients, causing distress and this has resulted in complications, leading to death in certain cases," said the official.

The district authorities have been directed to take action on the erring hospitals as the department reiterated the responsibilities of private medical establishments.
