Imphal: Manipur chief minister N. Biren Singh continued his interaction with home isolation patients through video conferencing to understand their inconveniences and grievances on Sunday.
The initiative to attend to home isolation patients was taken up to ensure efficient monitoring by noting all their grievances and redress them with necessary action. Biren advised them not to feel depressed during their isolation period as they could easily recover from the infection within 14 days with proper medication.
Regarding financial hardship faced by patients getting treatment in private health institutions, the chief minister informed that the government, after consultation with stakeholders and considering the economic situation of the state, would issue an order notifying rates for treatment with different facilities including ICU, ventilator supports, etc.
