Jammu, Apr 21: Making a fervent appeal to the J & K Union Territory administration led by Lieutenant Governor GC Murmu to take cognizance of plight of non-Covid patients also and ensure their treatment in government as well as private hospitals. RTI activists Raman Sharma has appealed the J & K government to invoke section 24 of the Disaster Management Act 2005 to ensure that reluctant private medical practitioners, hospitals and nursing homes do not deprive the citizens of required medical aid amidst the corona pandemic.
Sharma said that unfortunately amidst the pandemic outbreak many private medical practitioners, hospitals and nursing homes have stopped treating even the non-COVID patients whereas these same private hospitals and doctors were providing services to these patients for years and decades. In his appeal the activist said when the entire government medical health institutions are engaged in dealing with the patient suffering from Corono virus almost many private medical practitioners have stopped working. He appealed the J & K government to invoke section 24 of the disaster management act to continue their services. It is pertinent to mention here that section 24 of the DM Act 2005 defines Powers and functions of State Executive Committee in the event of threatening disaster and allows the State/UT government to utilize the services and facilities. |
