The Doon hospital levies user charges on public for variety of services like OPD registrations, pathology tests, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), X rays, CT scan, ECG, private ward facility and ICU.
The hospital data shows that it receives about Rs 40-45 lakh per month from these charges. The hospital transfers 50 percent of this user charge amount to the State Government and rest amount it keeps for meeting its own requirements.
The hospital authorities have consistently raised the issue that the State Government should allow it to use the entire amount it receives from the user charges.
The hospital receives 80 percent of its revenues from the radiology department which has ultra modern facilities like MRI, CT Scan, Sonography and digital radiography.
Those associated with the hospital believes that more revenues can be earned from optimum utilization of these machines.
They point out that these machines are being used only till 2 pm only and the
hospital can earn good revenues if these machines are handed over to some private player after 2 pm.
