AMN / NEW DELHI
NHRC has made a slew of recommendations to LNJP Hospital for improving overall management at the dedicated coronavirus facility of the Delhi government.
The recommendations have been made in a report sent by the Commission to the Delhi government.
The report is based on the visit of a team of the NHRC to the LNJP Hospital on 11th of this month for an on-spot inspection of the facility in the wake of allegations of mismanagement in handling the COVID-19 situation in the city.
LNJP Hospital is a dedicated COVID-19 facility under the Delhi government. NHRC has recommended that the quality of food to be provided should be monitored by dietician, and patients should be allowed to be in touch with their family through mobile phones.
The list of oxygen-enabled ambulances is to be put on Delhi government website and charges of the ambulances should also be monitored.
The NHRC suggested to LNJP Hospital to provide psychological counselling to medical and paramedical staff on COVID-19 duty.
