The Nursing Home and Hospital Board - IMA (Tamil Nadu) has condemned CPI MP K. Subbarayan for his post on social media alleging that medical professionals were “robbing” the people during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Board’s State secretary, S. G. Balamurugan, in a statement said that when doctors and para-medical staff were saving COVID-19 patients, risking their own lives, such remarks by an elected representative were wounding. The entire medical fraternity could not be blamed for the malpractices of a few.
The Board sought an apology from the MP and urged him to withdraw his remarks.

Collector V. Jayachandra Bhanu Reddy has asked the private hospitals in the district to conduct an audit on the use of medical oxygen.
At a consultative meeting held at the Collectorate, the hospitals have been asked to form an in-house committee to audit the usage of oxygen and submit a report to the district administration. In Krishnagiri, 25 private hospitals are covered under the Chief Minister’s Comprehensive Medical Insurance Scheme for COVID-19 treatment. Therefore, the public may avail treatment for up to ₹5 lakh covered through the insurance in the designated private hospitals.
Further, the private hospitals were also asked to appoint a liaison officer to guide patients seeking COVID-19 care through the CM’s health insurance scheme and ensure that treatment was provided immediately. The private hospitals should collect only the fees defined by the government for COVID-19 testing and treatment, the Collector said.
