The court was shocked to see the price of Kanji(Rice Soup)

Kochi: The court was shocked to see the price of kanji   ( rice soup) charged by a private hospital from covid patients. 1350 was charged hospitals. Justice Devan Ramachandran asked how the porridge would go down if it got this amount and the porridge would have to be kept like gold. The Dolo pill costs between Rs 25 and Rs 30. Most of the hospitals are looting the patients condemned by the court.

The treatment protocol has also made it clear that in a day the PPE Kits that can be billed shall be two in general wards per day and 5 per ICU bed per day and the rates shall not exceed the MRP declared by the manufacturer.

If any hospital is charging a high rate, the people can lodge a complaint with higher officials including DMO directly or via e-mail. The government order has pointed out that if any hospital is found charging a high rate from COVID patients, tenfold of the collected amount will be levied as a penalty.

Association and MES

The court commended the Catholic Health Association and the MES for announcing that they would ensure the treatment of covid patients at a fee set by the government. The court also ruled that MES was showing genuine Ramadan sentiment. The Catholic Health Association said the government had not yet released the amount of those treated under the charity scheme.
