Bengaluru: The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike, on Friday issued notices to 46 private hospitals for not allotting beds to COVID-19 patients and for not responding to the BBMP.
The government in its order earlier, had asked the private hospitals to reserve 50% of beds to the COVID-19 patients, but these hospitals had refused to admit COVID-19 patients, reports added.
The move by these hospitals reportedly caused inconveniences to the patients who were not admitted to the hospital in due time and couldn’t avail adequate treatment, forcing the BBMP to issue notices to 46 private hospitals.
