The havoc of coronavirus is not stopping. Along with that, the hefty bills of private bills in Vijayawada is also not stopping. It happened recently that Krishna district collector A. Md. Imtiaz, on Sunday, canceled the license of Liberty hospital in Vijayawada banning it from treating Covid-19 patients after a three-member committee had submitted its report that the hospital management was collecting excess charges from the patients. Many private hospitals that had received approval to treat Covid-19 patients are charging lakhs of rupees and playing with the lives of patients in the name of coronavirus treatment.

It had happened earlier as well that many private care units were charging hefty sum in the name of treatment or even a simple test. No matter how many measures the government has been taking, private hospitals still are clutching money from the patients' kin. A patient Ramineedi Sarala from Rajahmundry had lodged a complaint against Liberty hospital management alleging that her husband lost his life even after paying Rs 15 lakh to the hospital for treatment. In this regard, the collector appointed a three-member committee to look into the complaint.
