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.

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.
