Vadodara: A day after deputy chief minister Nitin Patel warned of action against hospitals unnecessarily admitting Covid-19 patients, 10 inspection teams were formed on Sunday to carry out checking at private facilities in the city. The teams comprised of 20 senior doctors and professors from Medical College, Baroda associated with the state-run SSG Hospital and GMERS Hospital, Gotri.
“Inspection of private hospitals has started. We will enforce the notification for admission of Covid-19 patients and divert others for home-based Covid care under the Sanjeevani Abhiyan,” said Dr Vinod Rao, officer on special duty for Covid-19 in Vadodara.
“Those hospitals who violate the guidelines will face action under the Epidemic Act and Disaster Management Act,” he said.
