NEW DELHI:
Aam Aadmi Party MLA from Karol Bagh, Shri Vishesh Ravi, placed a request for immediate intervention in the matter of non-treatment / mis-treatment of EWS Category patients at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital during the session of the Delhi Vidhan Sabha today.
The MLA has been raising this issue of the EWS category patients being bereft of the benefits at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital. The patients are not given proper medical consultation, medicines and hospital beds as entitled to EWS category patients at the hospital.
Shri Vishesh Ravi said that the hospital has a long-standing habit of looking down upon the EWS category patients and not providing them with proper medical attention & treatment. He added that this discriminatory behaviour by hospital should be looked into immediately as such things are non-acceptable.
The MLA also proposed that an Assembly Constituency wise Sub-committee on EWS Hospital monitoring be constituted as a subpart of State Level EWS Hospital Monitoring Committee. This would ensure fair & regular medical treatment of EWS Category patients. The Health Minister took cognisance of the matter and assured that the Department would strictly look into the matter to ensure that this malpractice is stopped. Further, the Health Minister also said that feasibility of MLA Ravi’s proposal regarding Sub-Committees would be looked into, at the earliest.
