Kanpur: The district administration on Thursday permitted a private nursing home to treat corona infected persons.
A hospital, situated at the Civil Lines, had proposed to treat Covid-19 patients at a meeting called by the district administration.
The district administration had called a meeting of private nursing homes and sought their help in the treatment of rising cases of corona infected persons.It is being presumed that some more nursing homes might come forward to offer their services in this regard. Patients to be treated by private nursing homes will have to bear the cost of treatment.
In view of shortage of beds in government hospitals to treat such a large number of corona patients in the city, district magistrate Brahmadeo Ram Tiwari made an appeal to private nursing homes to come forward and treat corona patients.
The Nursing Homes Association held a meeting with the district magistrate on Thursday evening in which president of the association Dr MK Saravagi proposed to treat corona patients in his hospital. After he assured that all preparation would be made according to the Covid-19 protocol, the DM granted permission to the private hospital to treat corona infected persons.
CMO Dr A K Shukla, Dr Awadh Dubey, Dr Archana Bhadauria, Dr Deepak Agarwal ,Dr AC Agarwal and Dr Rita Mittal were present in the meeting.
