MARGAO: Curtorim MLA Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco on Saturday said that like numerous Goenkars, he too is shocked by the government’s arbitrary decision to withdraw the notification to treat COVID-19 under Deen Dayal Swasthya Seva Yojana (DDSSY).
Reginaldo said, “The action of removing DDSSY cover for the treatment of coronavirus clearly indicates that it has been dictated by the powerful corporate private hospitals lobby which has been fleecing Goenkars for many years with the exorbitant cost of treatment for all ailments.”

“The aforesaid move is going to further worsen the situation of common Goenkars who have contacted COVID-19 and who were looking to avail the facilities in private hospitals as State’s public health centres are functioning beyond their operational capacity to treat the infection,” he said.
