HC seeks list of poor patients treated in pvt hospitals free

New Delhi, Sep 26 (PTI) The Delhi High Court today asked the city government to file a status report detailing the number of poor patients given free treatment by private hospitals in last four years as per its earlier order.

Directing Delhi government's Principal Secretary (Health) to file the report by November 24, a bench of justices S Ravindra Bhat and G P Mittal also asked for the break-up of the poor patients given free treatment in indoor and outdoor departments of hospitals.

The court also asked the Centre to notify within four weeks the list of private hospitals which obtained government land at a subsidised price and were supposed to treat the poor patients free of cost.

The court order came on a plea to launch contempt of court proceedings against three private hospitals, Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Hospital, Moolchand and St Stephens, for allegedly defying the court's earlier order to provide free beds to poor patients and extend them free indoor medical treatment in return for the subsidised land allocated to them by the government.

The contempt plea was filed by Social Jurists, an NGO, through its counsel Ashok Aggarwal who alleged three hospitals have failed to comply with the high court's March 2007 order.
