Mangaluru, Dec 4, 2017: The DYFI staged a dharna in front of the DC office here on December 4, Monday  to prevail upon the government to  take suitable measures to regulate private hospitals.

The  dharna was also staged in support of the demand to strengthen government hospitals and also to set up a government medical college in the district.

 

Addressing the protestors, DYFI leader Sunil Kumar Bajal  said that the hefty  treatment charges at private hospitals has dealt a severe blow on the common man.

Referring to the KPME Act, he said an essential feature of this Act has been dropped by the government by succumbing to pressure from doctors.
