Health Minister Orders Regular Hospital Inspections in State
The Health Minister is making sure hospitals in the state are safe and well-maintained.
He's told officials to regularly check the hospitals and fix any problems they find.
This is because of a recent incident where part of a hospital ceiling fell on patients.
The inspections will look at how clean the hospitals are, if they need repairs, and if they have the right medical supplies.
Officials who don't fix issues quickly could face consequences.
About 33 teams have already inspected hospitals, and a report has been made to improve things.
The government is also planning to spend money on fixing up the hospitals.
Health Minister orders regular inspections of government-run hospitals in the state.
Inspections will assess cleanliness, repairs, medical resources, patient convenience, and safety.
Disciplinary action will be taken if deficiencies aren't addressed promptly.
A report was prepared based on intensive inspections conducted by 33 teams on Friday.
The PWD requires ₹84 crore for hospital repairs, with ₹44 crore approved.
