Medics' anger as Delhi orders most beds in private hospitals be reserved for Covid cases | Global development

“Treating Covid patients doesn’t require the top-level medical expertise of these specialty hospitals where complicated and very advanced surgeries are performed,” said Gyani, speaking before the order was partially revised.
“It’s the government’s responsibility in New Delhi to prepare facilities to cope with the pandemic. When they failed to do so, they dumped their responsibility on to private hospitals to cover their own deficiencies. That’s no solution.”
India’s healthcare system is a hybrid of free government-run hospitals and private hospitals and clinics. With the government hospitals underfunded, overcrowded and lacking in modern resources, particularly in big cities such as Delhi, private hospitals are seen as essential for those seeking more specialist treatment who are able to afford it. The 14 private hospitals which will now mostly be dedicated to Covid care are among the most popular in the city.
