Presiding over a meeting of DCs, the CM directed that the number of oxygen beds should also be increased along with keeping multidisciplinary teams conducting health checkups in villages on alert for better coordination.

He said that an ambulance should be stationed round-the-clock at every CHC so that if required, a patient can be referred to the nearest district hospital. Every ambulance to be stationed near these CHCs should have a maximum life support system, Khattar said.

Interacting with the media after chairing the review meeting, Khattar said strict cognisance of the complaints regarding private hospitals fleecing patients has been taken.

“A random audit of private hospitals will be done. For this, district-level committees have been formed,” he said.
