We are not against doctor; KPME Bill is in the interest of poor: Health Minister

Belagavi, Nov 16: Health Minister KR Ramesh Kumar assured the Legislative Assembly on Thursday that the government will arrive at a final decision by today evening on the controversial Karnataka Private Establishments (KPME) Bill, which doctors across the state are vehemently protesting.

"I'm meeting the Chief Minister this evening to find a solution," Kumar said, in response to the Opposition BJP highlighting deaths of patients across the state due to the shutdown of outpatient services in the wake of the doctors' strike. The BJP accused the government of being lax, holding Kumar responsible for the deaths of patients.

Kumar strongly defended the Bill and maintained it was in the interest of patients, especially the poor. "We are not against doctors, the medical profession or medical institutions," Kumar said. "No one is highlighting the death of patients when they can't afford treatment. But deaths of patients due to doctors' protest is all over the news," he rued.

The minister rejected the BJP's accusation that it was a matter of prestige for him to get the Bill passed. "The government has an open mind as far as the demands of the doctors are concerned," he said. He also denied reports that he would resign if the Bill was not passed.

Modiji. Learn something from Siddaramaiah. it is not like GST and Demonetisation. That everything you made for corporates.

Soon Feku will copy this also and implement as their fresh idea

Doctors should cooperate with this. I think some doctors dont have any issue. The doctors who own hospitals having trouble more. because they cant charge more. Otherwise the institution may pay to the doctors who working under somebody institution. The risk is while considering the treatment refund for unsuccessfull one

Siddaramaiah govt have to see some precautions before the amendment. That is, govt should give and ensure proper facilities in Govt hospitals.. Otherwise decision will more harm us

If doctors protesting then we should also have to take strong decision of not to go private hospitals

It should be implemented

Greedy doctors.The amendment good for poor people

Mangaluru, Jan 13: Supporting former state chief minister and JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy who released a "CD on the December 19 Mangaluru violence", Dakshina Kannada party unit president Mohammed Kunhi on Monday demanded a probe into the violence.

Mr Kumaraswamy, who released 35 video clips related to the violence, had demanded the suspension of the Police Commissioner and also sought a house committee to probe the incident.

Addressing media personnel here, Kunhi questioned, "If the police department did not commit any mistake why is the state government looking worried about the CDs released by Kumaraswamy?"
