Minor’s death: Fortis not providing beds for poor, says Anil Vij
Mr Vij told reporters that a draft of the proposed complaint to the police had been prepared.
Chandigarh: Haryana health minister Anil Vij said on Saturday that his department had written to the Haryana Urban Development Authority (Huda) to cancel the lease of land to Fortis Hospital in Gurgaon due to alleged violations of the terms and conditions of the agreement.
“The land was given by Huda to Fortis hospital in Gurgaon in 2004 under certain terms and conditions, which included conditions like reserving 20 per cent of beds for the poor, but they are not providing these beds. Therefore, we have written to Huda to cancel their lease as they have violated the terms and conditions of the MoU,” Mr Vij told reporters in Ambala on Saturday.
A panel probing allegations of overcharging against Gurgaon’s Fortis hospital had found “several irregularities” including protocols not being followed in a case related to the death of a 7-year-old girl.
Following the indictment by the panel, Vij had said that an FIR will be lodged against the private hospital while the license of its blood bank will be cancelled.
Mr Vij told reporters that a draft of the proposed complaint to the police had been prepared. A notice to cancel Fortis Gurgaon’s blood bank has also been given, he added.
