Just my opinion. I believe that the Private Hospitals are doing more than enough. They have taken none Covid patients and admitted them to take the strain off the Gene Hosp. Not much more that they can do, is there.

The Organisation is also planning to staff private hospitals with additional general practitioners under whose care will come non-Covid patients currently in the hands of doctors in overcrowded departments of public hospitals''.
