GUWAHATI: Lawyers' Association Guwahati has decided to approach the Gauhati High Court with a plea to instruct the State Government to reconsider its recent notification fixing the rates of private super speciality and general hospitals ranging from Rs 4,000 to Rs 15,000 for treatment of COVID-19 patients.

Advocate Ashim Chamua said it would be unfair to fix the same rates for all private hospitals across the State. He said rates of private hospitals in Guwahati and their counterparts in other districts should be different considering facilities and various other cost factors.
