"The state government has directed the medical college for extra beds to accommodate the swine flu patients and proper medical facilities for their treatment,"
The state health minister further said that a Directorate General of Health Services was also directed to visit Meerut and Ghaziabad to supervise the health conditions of the patients who were affected by swine flu.
It is claimed that the state government has decided to transfer patients from districts to private hospitals for better medical treatment as the districts lack proper medical facilities.
