Jaipur: The state government hospitals are witnessing a trend of critical patients being transferred there from private hospitals. In one such recent case, a patient’s family had alleged private hospital’s carelessness in treatment and after his condition deteriorated the patient was shifted to Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Hospital. However, the patient died within a few days of shifting.
“The patient died within a few days after being shifted from the private hospital. He was already critical at the time of his admission,” said a senior SMS hospital official.
Private hospitals’ ambulances can often be seen reaching the government hospitals to transfer their patients. “We cannot refuse treatment to anyone, even if a patient is undergoing treatment at a private hospital. Many patients come to SMS hospital from private ones after undergoing treatment there for some days or even a week,” said the official.
Some of them come in critical condition and require care accordingly. Many of the transferred patients require ICU facilities.
