Private hospitals in Kota on strike in protest against Rajasthan Right to Health Bill

Kota (Rajasthan),  In protest against the Rajasthan government’s proposed Right to Health Bill, around 300 private hospitals, clinics and nursing homes in Kota remained shut for outdoor patients, emergency services and fresh admissions on Saturday.

The closure of private facilities led to a 40 per cent rise in the patient load in the government-run MBS Hospital here.

The striking doctors and healthcare professionals staged a demonstration at Vigyan Nagar and raised slogans against the state government and the proposed legislation.
