Sukhu govt turning patients into source of income: LoP Jairam Thakur
Shimla: Former chief minister and LoP Jairam Thakur Tuesday accused the state govt of turning patients into a source of income, and seeking ways to impose fees instead of providing them free treatment under the Himcare scheme. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Thakur alleged that as it is residents were not getting free treatment under Himcare due to govt's failures, and on top of that, the govt was planning to increase the charges for meals provided to patients at Indira Gandhi Medical College (IGMC) here. "Besides, there is also a plan to charge a separate admission fee when a patient is admitted to IGMC. It will not be limited to IGMC, but will gradually be implemented throughout the state," he claimed. "Ever since the Congress govt came to power, the healthcare system in the state has deteriorated. Health facilities, health schemes, free medicines, free tests, and free treatment under Himcare and Ayushman have all failed due to the govt's incompetence," Thakur alleged, adding that the companies and institutions supplying medicines and materials to hospitals have been pleading the govt to release their pending payments.
