Amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases, the Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) on Friday suspended the license of a private hospital for overcharging COVID-19 patients. Interestingly, the civic body has also suspended the permission to treat COVID-19 patients at the hospital.

According to a report in Hindustan Times, the KDMC squad that monitors COVID-19 hospitals and addresses the complaints against such hospitals in its vicinity suspended the license after they received complaints about hospitals overcharging patients for beds and PPE kits among other things.
