RAIPUR: The state's Health Department has sealed a hospital in the Uslapur area near Bilaspur after finding that the hospital was being run without the required legal registration, documents and even regular doctors, who are called in for service to operate and treat patients once they get admitted to the hospital.
Bilaspur CMHO Dr. Pramod Mahajan told TOI that initially the hospital organisation was given a seven days' notice to close the hospital as their documents were not in order but the hospital did not comply with it. Later on Wednesday morning, CMHO along with the medical team sealed the hospital.
During the peak pandemic period, there was a sudden spurt of Covid patients due to which many new hospitals also started functioning. There were numerous complaints against these hospitals for collecting exorbitant charges for treatment.
