Superintendents to be held responsible for corruption in hospitals
The state government will make superintendents of the government hospitals concerned responsible for corruption in hospitals, warned YSR Arogya Sri district coordinator Dr K Sankara Rao. Even for one rupee of corruption, stern action will be taken against the officials, he said.
Eluru: The state government will make superintendents of the government hospitals concerned responsible for corruption in hospitals, warned YSR Arogya Sri district coordinator Dr K Sankara Rao. Even for one rupee of corruption, stern action will be taken against the officials, he said.
He attended as the chief guest for the meeting of medical officers at Eluru Government Hospital on Thursday. Speaking on the occasion, Dr Rao made it clear that the government will not spare anybody fleecing patients for bribes in hospitals.
Stating that the government is taking utmost care for the health of the poor, Dr Rao announced that any cases of corruption noticed would be considered very seriously. It was noticed that patients are being asked for money after operation in some places while bribes demanded even for out-patient tickets also at other places. This corrupt system should be rooted out to bring corrupt-free administration at hospitals, he declared.
Dr Rao warned corrupt staff to get prepared to leave job and go home if they continue their corrupt practices any further. The government has no option but to suspend such corrupt employees, he warned.
In some PHCs, delivery cases are being referred to area hospitals without taking care of the patients. This practice should go as the staff at PHCs also paid for their work, he said.
