Immigrant worker Murugan’s death following denial of treatment by various hospitals in Kollam and Thiruvananthapuram indicates how greedy and unscrupulous are these hospital managements. The incident is a shame to the state. Action should be taken against these hospital managements for dereliction of service.
And in this regard Kerala Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) bill stipulating hospitals to put up boards displaying the service fee and medical package expenses, is a welcome move. At present most of the hospitals charge exorbitantly for their service. Hospitals refusing to admit accident cases and unwilling to reduce their treatment expenses should not be permitted to function.
