The Employee State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) on June 11, 2020, issues provisions for prompt medical services to ESI patients at all the ESIC hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was observed that some of the hospital were not admitting the patients and were further directing them to a different hospital adding up to the misery of the sick patients.
To eradicate the negligent behaviour towards the ESI patients, the corporation has given out certain guidelines which are to be followed by all the ESIC hospital and be provided to ESI beneficiaries.
- All the patients are to be treated on emergency basis in case they are a suspected or a confirmed case of COVID.
- The beds are to be provided in the separate isolation wards for all these patients along with all the equipment needed for the treatment.
- The hospitals should arrange for the transport of the sick patients and should reserve the bed for the patients.
- The ambulance and the transport services shall be provided on a 24-hour basis.
