Udupi: Non-payment issues Salaries up to more than 200 staff, including doctors and nurse Government Karnataka Koosamma Shambhu Shetty Memorial Hajj Abdulla Mother and Child Hospital in Udupi, will be discussed with the minister’s chairman on Thursday.
Udupi MLA K Raghupathi Bhat will take problems relating to the PPP model hospital with the Minister of Chief Justice of the Basavaraj Bommai and the Minister of Health Medical Education K Sudhakar.
Staff including nurses, doctors, pharmacists and others did not pay their salaries in May, June and July.
Because the salary was not paid by BR Life, the company NRI businessman br shetty due to financial problems, hospital staff planned to start an unlimited attack from Wednesday.
However, MLA met with a member of the hospital staff and gave a guarantee that delayed salary contributions would be released through Suvarna Arogya Surakha Trust.
After this, they temporarily canceled their plans from unlimited attacks.
The 200 bed hospital handles an average of 350 shipments per month and most pregnant women who reach the hospital come from poor families.
Bhat told TII that he would discuss with CM on whether the hospital could be managed by the government directly because of the BR Shetty company in the financial crisis.
“Hospitals need almost Rs 40 lakh per month to pay a salary of more than 200 staff.
While the total maturity is around RS 1.2 Crore, we have promised staff members that Rs 60 Lakh will be released through the Suvarna Arogya Surakha Trust on Monday.
Then, The decision about cleaning all old salary contributions through the government at the end of this month will be taken after meeting with the minister’s chairman, “said Bhat.
In accordance with the agreement, the hospital must be fully maintained by the company br shetty.
However, the government has sent 14 doctors to hospitals to representatives to ensure their functions are not disconnected.
Even drugs needed for hospitals were supplied by the government, said Bhat, added that it was a wrong decision taken by the previous government in 2017 to open a hospital under a private model with private companies.
