Ayushman Bharat Stalls in Haryana: 600+ Hospitals Halt Treatments Over ₹500 Crore Dues
Over 600 hospitals in Haryana have suspended treatments under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, citing massive unpaid dues from the state government. The outstanding amount is estimated to be a staggering ₹500 crore.
Doctors and hospital administrators have voiced serious concerns regarding the government’s handling of the scheme. They highlight inadequate payments, cumbersome processes, and unexplained deductions as major obstacles.
Poor communication between the government and healthcare providers further exacerbates the situation, leading to significant operational disruptions. This has left thousands of patients in a precarious position, unable to access crucial healthcare services.
The crisis underscores the urgent need for the Haryana government to address these financial and operational issues. Failure to do so will not only severely impact the accessibility of healthcare for the state’s vulnerable population but also undermine the credibility of the Ayushman Bharat scheme itself. Immediate intervention is crucial to restore faith in the program and ensure its continued success.
