SHILLONG, July 19: The cost of COVID-19 treatment in private hospitals in the state will be regulated with the Health department all set to issue an official notification on Tuesday putting a cap on the cost of treatment.
An official source said on Monday that the government has decided to put a cap on the cost of COVID-19 treatment after holding consultations with representatives of private hospitals recently.
It may be recalled that the state government had constituted a consultative committee to look into concerns raised by citizens on exorbitant billing for COVID-19 treatment in the private hospitals.
The committee comprises officials of the Health Department and representatives of government and private hospitals.
There have been allegations that patients have paid between Rs 2 lakh and Rs 3.50 lakh for COVID-19 treatment in the private hospitals.
