Chittoor: The stage is set for handing over the Chittoor Government Hospital in the first stage and three other government hospitals to Apollo Group of Hospitals in second stage, according to sources.
The Apollo Group of Hospitals entered into an agreement to take over the Chittoor Government Hospital recently, while the State government has already prepared the ground to handover the Palamaner Government Area Hospital, Bangarupalem, a 50-bed hospital and P Kothakota Hospital. Hence, it is evident that the government is interested to entrust the management of its hospitals to the corporate hospitals in a phased manner.
In order to expand its operations in the district in a big way, the Apollo Group of Hospitals has reportedly decided to attach many more government hospitals in the district. Resentment was witnessed among the employees, medical officers, paramedical staff of the government hospitals over the government’s move to hand over the government hospitals of the district to the corporate hospitals paving the way for privatisation of the government hospitals in a phased manner.
Speaking to The Hans India, Chittoor Government Hospital superintendent Dr Jaya Raj admitted that stage has been set to handover the Chittoor Government Hospital to Apollo Group of Hospitals.
