To control the spread of swine flu in the country, which have result in six deaths, industry chamber Assocham today asked Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad to permit reputed private hospitals and accredited charitable institutions to diagnose and treat suspected such patients.
The chamber said the government hospitals are over congested to tackle current outbreak of the disease.
"Established and credible laboratories in private sector including charitable centres are well equipped to diagnose and offer treatment for swine flu," Assocham President Sajjan Jindal said in a release.
Jindal said, since authorised health institutions in the government sector are limited in number to check blood samples of suspected and afflicted swine flu patients, credible health institutions in private sector be allowed to detect the flu and treat it.
