A senior Delhi government official said Nadda asked Jain to tighten the noose around private hospitals by taking strict action if they refuse to admit suspected cases of dengue.
"The Delhi Health Minister discussed the dengue situation in the national capital with the Union Health Minister over the phone.
"Jain also apprised Nadda of the measures taken by the state government to combat the vector-borne disease," the official said.
Warning that hospitals which refuse patients will be penalised, the Chief Minister said that his government was contemplating bringing in a law to enable temporary takeover of private hospitals during emergencies.
"I appeal to everyone to donate blood as much as possible. This will be good... Others will get relief," Kejriwal said.
