💨 Abstract

The West Bengal Clinical Establishment Regulatory Commission has asked private hospitals to provide data about patients treated under the state's medical insurance scheme, 'Swasthya Sathi', due to complaints about inflated bills. The Commission also recommended that 10% of total beds in healthcare facilities be reserved under Swasthya Sathi and asked hospitals to re-evaluate patient expenses. Private hospitals suggested the Commission should fix medical expense rates for each case.
