1/n Exactly one year back on this day "23 Sep 2019" Clinical Establishment Act was notified in Goa. If it would have been implemented Goans would have not faced the overcharging by Pvt Covid Hospitals @PrakashWKamat
@renukadoc @rodrigues_aires @Goaforwardparty

2/n Clinical Establishment Act is supposed to have council which even after one year is not notified. The council would have streamlined the things by regulating hospitals, clinics and labs. @rodrigues_aires @Goaforwardparty @PrakashWKamat

3/n Mushrooming of clinics and labs have taken place in Goa during this pandemic , had Clinical Establishment Act implemented, goans would have not been ripped by quacks and pvt Hospitals in Pandemic @rodrigues_aires @Goaforwardparty @PrakashWKamat https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/govt-docs-serving-private-clinics-to-face-penal-action/articleshow/70612784.cms

4/n At present there is no grievance redressal mechanism for overcharging by Hospitals. Patients have nowhere to go. Implementing Clinical Establishment Act would have saved life and money. @PrakashWKamat @Goaforwardparty @rodrigues_aires @renukadoc

5/n Only #Goa and #Gujarat have not implemented the provisions of Clinical Establishment Act, leading to chaos all over. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ahmedabad/only-gujarat-goa-yet-to-enforce-cea-act-2012/articleshow/77459815.cms

6/n Strangely IMA Goa has maintained a studied silence even though most of their members are running covid consultation through telemedicine. IMA knows CEA is patient centric but oppose its implementation. @PrakashWKamat @renukadoc @rodrigues_aires @TOIGoaNews @Goaforwardparty

7/n #Goa govt on record has said will be difficult to implement CEA as half of pvt hosp will shutdown. Does this mean half of hospital provide substandard treatment? Pvt clinics before patients? https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/not-easy-to-adopt-clinical-establishments-act-rane/articleshow/70048634.cms @PrakashWKamat @renukadoc @rodrigues_aires @RajeshMenon70

8/n "Goa Clinical Establishments  Bill  2019, repealed the Goa Medical Practioners’ Act 2004" So now the government does not know how many hospitals , clinics and labs & doctors are & their charges as CEA not implemented till date. @PrakashWKamat @renukadoc @rodrigues_aires

9/n Even though Clinical Establishment Act was passed in 2019, Goa govt has till date not listed itself in central repository

10/n IMA pretend to support the govt at the time of CoVid19 but at the same time lobbied against CEA 2019, as it would have had to provide standard care and will be regulated.

11/n Even after 1 year of passing Clinical Establishment Act not a single Hospital, Clinic or Lab has registered under the Act from Goa. Who has to be blamed ? http://www.clinicalestablishments.gov.in/cms/national_register_of_clinical_establishments.aspx @PrakashWKamat @rodrigues_aires @RajeshMenon70 @Goaforwardparty @renukadoc

12/n Due to non implemented important CEA , Goans are paying 1.5X-2.0X for CoVid19 test in Pvt set up. Sample this
1.Suburban in Goa 4500₹, in Mumbai 2000₹, 2. Manipal in Goa 4500₹+ but in Karnataka 3000₹. @PrakashWKamat @renukadoc @Goaforwardparty @rodrigues_aires

13/n Rapid Antigen testing, free in Govt but patients in #Goa in Pvt Set up charged upwards of 2000₹, whereas same pvt set up are charging less than 1000₹ in neighboring states Karnataka and Maharashtra, CEA would have stopped this. @PrakashWKamat @renukadoc @Goaforwardparty

14/n If Clinical Establishment Act were to be implemented the Pvt Hospitals and Labs had to mandatory show the rate list and no arbitrary price gouging would have happened as now in name of CoVid19 by them @DevsurabheeJi @PrakashWKamat @renukadoc @girishgoa @rodrigues_aires

15/n Rates fixed by #goa govt in pvt Hospitals is same as in #Bangalore even though Bangalore is twice as costlier than Goa. pvt sector is fighting CoVid19?

16/n Clinical Establishment Act seeks to abolish quackery by Corporate Hospitals, but this is the reason it is opposed. "Ayurveda, Homeopath" Doctors recruited in "Superspeciality Hospitals" in #Goa. @DevsurabheeJi @PrakashWKamat @rodrigues_aires @renukadoc @RajeshMenon70

17/n Patients go to "Corporate Superspeciality Hospitals" in #Goa for better care, not to end up being cheated by being treated by "Ayurvedic & Homeopathic Doctors" in name of Medical Officers. Clinical Establishment Act seeks to End this. @PrakashWKamat @RajeshMenon70
