‘No pvt hospital in Karnataka can turn away patients irrespective of covid status’
News Network
August 6,2020
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.

SC issues notice to Modi govt on plea challenging CAA, implementation of Assam Accord
Agencies
February 7,2020
New Delhi, Feb 7: The Supreme Court on Friday issued a notice to the Central government on a plea challenging the Constitutional validity of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and effective implementation of the Assam Accord.
A bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) SA Bobde also sought Centre's response on the plea filed by Assam Social Justice Forum.
The petition sought appropriate directions for taking effective steps for the implementation of Assam Accord, 1985 in letter and spirit and for conservation and preservation of the of a distinct culture, heritage and traditions of the indigenous people of Assam.
The Assam Accord, 1985, had fixed March 24, 1971, as the cut-off date for deportation of all illegal immigrants irrespective of their religion.
The Bench also sought Centre's response on another fresh batch of pleas challenging CAA and tagged them along with other petitions pending in the matter.
One of the petitions, filed by the Association of Advocates from Maharashtra among others, sought to declare the Citizenship Amendment Act as discriminatory, arbitrary, and illegal and consequently set aside the impugned act as ultra-vires the Constitution of India.
On the other hand, over a hundred petitions have been filed in the apex court, for and against the amended citizenship law, which is facing opposition and protests across the country.
CAA grants citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians who fled religious persecution in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan and took refuge in India on or before December 31, 2014.
