Bengaluru: Health Minister K. R. Ramesh Kumar on Thursday told the Legislative Assembly that immediate measures will be taken to ensure all facilities that are offered by private hospitals will also be made available at Government Hospitals and he has set himself a deadline of 45 days to achieve this.
Replying to Legislators Shivalingegowda, D. Nagarajaiah and U.B. Banakara, the Minister said that the intention of the government was to stop people flocking private hospitals, where patients are made to cough up huge money. “Facilities will be provided at all district and taluk hospitals for disease detection and cure. Blood banks, dialysis machines and X-ray machines, advanced ICUs, generic medicine outlets, CT scanning and MRI machines will be set up,” he said.
