Some COVID-19 patients died as they were shifted by private hospitals to other hospitals in violation of standard protocols
The death audit of COVID-19 patients in Mysuru has revealed that the patients died of complications after being shifted to other hospitals by some private hospitals here in violation of standard procedures. Disclosing this here on Monday, Deputy Commissioner Rohini Sindhuri told the private hospitals not to admit patients if they cannot treat critically-ill patients. In case of an admission, the patients should be referred to other equipped private hospitals or K.R. Hospital before the patients’ condition worsens. She warned some private hospitals during a meeting here that the district administration will take the matter seriously if deaths continue to happen because of the violation of treatment protocols by them.More Related News
