PUNE: Patients and political workers have accused the Dattatray Walse Patil Eye Hospital, run by Vision Next Eye Hospital and a registered charitable institution, of violating government rules and exploiting the public. On December 13, a written complaint was made to the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) regarding the same.

The hospital is run by Vision Next Eye Hospital, a registered charitable institution.

However, the complaint claims the hospital fails to deliver its promise of providing subsidised and free treatment to the needy.

The hospital is the only specialized eye hospital in the city run in a private-public partnership (PPP) with Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) and the trust.

As per the terms of the agreement, the hospital has to provide treatment at a 50% discount to needy patients of BPL category and a 90% discount to PMC staff. Besides, the hospital's treatment charges are less than the CGHS rates.
