Saving lives utmost important, not documents
If doctors and staff in govt hospitals misbehave with people,they will be terminated from service.I will speak to Chief Minister in this regard and if need be we will bring necessary amendments to laws in the next session of the assembly,said Health and Medical education Minister Dr.K.Sudhakar.
Speaking about the death of pregnant woman and two newborns in Tumakuru District Hospital minister Dr.K.Sudhakar said the girl who has now lost her mother has been admitted to orphanage home.
A fixed deposit of Rs.5Lakh has been made in the girl’s name from the government.Govt will also take care of her education.
District surgeon,doctors and other staff who are found to be responsible for this have been issued showcase notice and have been asked to respond within 24 hours.
Incidents like these must never repeat again.In cases of emergency, hospitals should not insist on documents.Documents can be collected after the attending the emergency.
There are about 76 notified emergency services and instructions are already in place to not deny or delay treatment in such cases.
In case treatment is not available in government hospitals people can avail it in private hospitals also and govt will bear the cost.
