Chennai, April 16 : Several patients who were admitted to the government Covid healthcare centres here have complained of graft and corruption by the lower level staff.
Ramesh Subramanian, who was admitted to a Covid care centre at Purasawalkam, told IANS: The healthcare centre was far off from the supermarkets and we need to get small utensils like mugs,buckets and other things.
The lower level officials including compounders and nursing helps have demanded me a certain amount for these mugs and buckets. They charged 10 to 25 rupees extra for each item and we were at their mercy. The government must look into this.
