Probe ordered into denial of treatment
Special Correspondent
CHENNAI: The Madras High Court has directed the State Government to probe the alleged denial of medical treatment to indigent patients in government hospitals.
It also wanted a report, to be prepared by the Health and Family Welfare Department Secretary, submitted in the court on January 22.
Referring to a recent news report about a senior citizen lying unattended outside the government general hospital here, a Division Bench of Justice D. Murugesan and Justice V. Periya Karuppiah said: “If the averments are true, it is a matter for great concern, and the report highlights the traumatic experience of patients being admitted in government hospitals without any caretakers. Every citizen of this country has a right to have basic medical treatment, and such right cannot be denied. It must also be kept in mind that human life is a noble gift, and it cannot be treated with impunity.”
