Chittoor: No government doctor in the state is allowed to run private hospitals of his own as against the service rules and those who violate the rules would have to face punishment, said AP Vaidya Vidhana Parishad (APVVP) commissioner Dr K Durga Prasad. So far the vigilance department registered more than 100 cases against the government doctors for running private practice, he added.
Addressing a press conference at the Chittoor Government Hospital here on Wednesday, Dr Durga Prasad reiterated that the government was very firm in maintaining the government hospitals at par to corporate hospitals in the state at all levels .
He said there was a proposal to allot MRI apparatus worth Rs 5 crore each to the government hospitals situated at Vizianagaram, Rajamahendravaram, Eluru , Machilipatnam, Tenali, Nandyal and Proddutur while Apollo Group of Hospitals would install MRI equipment shortly in Chittoor Government Hospital
“On experimental basis, Chittoor Government Hospital was attached to Apollo Group of Hospitals for 33 years period under PPP (Public-Public Partnership) concept.
As per the agreement, the Apollo should ensure the super specialty services to the patients in Chittoor Government Hospital in all respects . The group is responsible for maintenance of sanitation and recruitment of the doctors,” said the APVVVP commissioner.
