Chandigarh/ Alive News: Now patients cannot be stopped for treatment in absence of Adhar card. Because, the state government has directed all civil surgeons, principal medical officers and medical superintendents that treatment should not be delayed or denied to any patient who is without an Aadhaar card or any other identity card.
“They must first provide immediate treatment to any serious patient coming to hospital and do the file work meant for records later. Disciplinary action would be taken against those who don’t comply with the orders,” DG, Health Services, Dr Satish Kumar Aggarwal said today.
Aadhaar card is not compulsory for patients for getting any kind of treatment in hospitals, he added. — TNS
