NEW DELHI: Delhi BJP president Harsh Vardhan on Tuesday declared that the party would seek closure of all health services on Wednesday in support of the doctors’ demand that the conversion fee and parking fee, being imposed on the service providers by the Union Urban Development Ministry, be waived off in the interest of health services in the city. Warning that imposition of these charges would lead to obstruction in trade and increase the cost of health care, Dr. Vardhan said there were about 1,000 nursing homes and 15,000 clinics operating in Delhi. “As much as 80 per cent of the health service in Delhi is in the private sector. The work which the Government cannot do is being undertaken by the private sector. If these services are disturbed by arbitrary taxes then the health services would be paralysed and the lives of the people would be put to danger,” he cautioned. Admitting that there is a lot of acrimony among the doctors and traders against the proposed imposition of conversion and parking fees, he announced that the party would hold a protest demonstration at Raj Ghat. Dr. Vardhan insisted that the doctors’ demand was very reasonable.
