The Krishna district administration in AP had cancelled the Covid 19 treatment permission for 33 private hospitals on Sunday.
According to district joint collector and Covid 19 nodal officer L Shiva Shankar, the district administration had given permission for 82 private hospitals.
However, the hospitals were found not following the Covid 19 guidelines in providing treatment to the patients.
The officials have conducted surprise raids on the hospitals on June 3, 5, and found several irregularities.
He said that the officials would keep such surprise checks on a regular intervals and asked all the private hospitals to strictly adhere to the Covid 19 guidelines.
He further said that the district administration had provided 6,000 beds under Arogyasri and another 3,000 beds at the Covid care centres for the second wave.
The state officials have been conducting surprise checks across the state on private hospitals.
As several of the private hospitals are collecting huge amounts of money from the patients, the administration had kept an eye on them.
Though the government had included the Covid 19 treatment in the Arogyasri list, some private hospitals have been fleecing the patients taking advantage of the situation.
