Allahabad HC Summons UP Principal Secretary Over Ventilator Availability Response
The Allahabad High Court has summoned the Uttar Pradesh principal secretary of Medical Health and Family Welfare to appear on August 6, citing dissatisfaction with the state's inadequate and evasive affidavit on ventilator availability in government hospitals. The court noted the state's failure to provide concrete data on ventilator demand, patient access, budget allocations, and the condition of medical colleges despite earlier orders. It also directed major hospitals to assess ventilator needs based on past data, emphasizing healthcare expenditure as a priority linked to citizens' right to life.
