New Delhi, June 3 (IANS): Aam Aadmi Party spokesperson and MLA Raghav Chadha on Wednesday slammed Ram Manohar Lohia hospital for giving out erroneous Covid-19 reports, alleging negligence on the part of the hospital which operates under the central government.

He said, "RML hospital has been violating the protocols and guidelines on testing. It is playing with the lives of patients. At least 45 per cent tests conducted in the hospital have been found to be erroneous. Thirty positive cases tested by the RML were found to be negative when they were re-tested by the Delhi government hospitals."

Chadha appealed to the Delhi residents to avoid going to the RML hospital for treatment. "We request the Centre to take action against the RML management. This is very unfortunate that such a reputed hospital is playing with the lives of people," he said.

The AAP MLA further said that there is a continuous glitch in the functioning of the RML hospital. Sometimes the hospital is giving 45 per cent wrong reports in the investigation of samples, sometimes it keeps pending the investigation report for a long time, he said.
