The Rajasthan High Court has directed the state government to reimburse the medical claim of a former associate professor from the University of Rajasthan. He was treated at multiple hospitals during Covid-19, including a non-recognised facility, before he died. Justice Rekha Borana observed that during the unprecedented pandemic, immediate availability of medical care was a challenge. The court noted that the government cannot deny reimbursement solely because the hospital was not recognised, given the emergency circumstances. The claim involves expenses incurred at several hospitals, livelaw.in reports.
