NEW DELHI: The Aam Aadmi Party government has ordered five top private hospitals in Delhi to deposit "unwarranted profits" of more than Rs 600 crore made by denying treatment to the poor.

The government order says Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, Max Super Specialty Hospital (Saket), Shanti Mukand Hospital, Dharamshila Cancer Hospital and Pushpawati Singhania Research Institute were allotted land at concessional rates on the condition that they treat the poor for free, but failed to do so.

"These hospitals did not abide by the conditions, hence action has been initiated against them," said Dr Hem Prakash, additional director (EWS) of the Delhi government. Officials said further action would be taken if the hospitals failed to deposit the amount within a month. Dr Hem Prakash, additional director (EWS) of the Delhi government, said the demand for depositing Rs 600 crore follows notices sent to the hospitals to explain their failure to treat the needy .

Prakash did not rule out action against more hospitals. A total of 43 private hospitals in the capital have been given land at concessional rates and are obliged to set aside 10% of their in-patient department capacity and 25% of out-patient department capacity for free treatment of the poor.
