PVT HOSPITALS IN P’KULA TOLD TO REVIEW SAFETY MEASURES

CHANDIGARH: After four health workers, including three doctors, from Alchemist Hospital, Panchkula, were tested positive for Covid-19, the district health authorities have asked other private hospitals to review the precautionary measures in place.

“We have verbally communicated to Ojas Hospital and Paras Hospital, which are authorised to treat Covid-19 patients, to review the situation as per the latest guidelines,” said nodal officer Dr Rajiv Narwal.

Meanwhile, Alchemist Hospital on Friday claimed that they have sent a reply to the communication received from the district administration about shortcomings found in its working after an inspection on June 29.

“We were not served a show-cause notice, but were sent a document that had certain observations made by the committee. We are already working on the rectifications suggested,” said hospital’s medical superintendent Dr Paramjit Singh Mann.
