Display treatment price list in all hospitals compulsorily: Udupi DC
Udupi: Deputy Commissioner Priyanka Mary Francis on Friday asked all private hospitals to display the treatment price list with clear visibility compulsorily.
Speaking at a review meeting on various committees of the Health department at her office here, she said that though there was an order to display the price list in bold letters for the public view in all private hospitals, majority of the hospitals display the list in corners. Many hospitals have the old lists. So, all private hospitals should display the recent price list without fail, she directed.
The DC directed DHO Dr Rohini to visit all hospitals and get the photos of the price list display from the hospitals when they apply for the licence renewal and renew the permission.
The DC also said that the department should compulsorily give training to puerperal women on taking precautionary measures after the delivery in hospital wards in order to reduce the child mortality rate.
The district administration has already reserved land at Senapura for rehabilitation of Endosulfan affected people and the Health department should protect the land with proper fencing. The department should distribute required medical equipment for the Endosulfan affected people, the DC said.
Officers of various departments were present at the meeting.

Leopard strays into house in Mysuru
Mysuru (Karnataka) (PTI): A male leopard strayed into a house here on Friday, triggering panic among residents, forest officials said.
The incident occurred around 10 am at Siddhartha Layout in the city, they said.
According to officials, the leopard, estimated to be around three to four years old, entered the house of a resident identified as Suresh. The animal was found hiding beneath a cot in one of the rooms. Those in the house managed to escape and alerted forest department officials, who rushed to the spot along with veterinarians.
The leopard, suspected to have strayed from the Chamundi Hills or nearby forest areas, was eventually tranquilised. It was later safely shifted to the Mysuru Zoo, a senior forest official said.
