Haryana’s Ayushman Bharat Crisis: 675 Hospitals Halt Treatment, Selja Slams Govt
Sirsa MP Kumari Selja has launched a scathing attack on the Haryana government’s management of the Ayushman Bharat scheme. Her criticism follows the withdrawal of services by 675 private hospitals.
These hospitals cited a staggering ₹500 crore in unpaid dues as the reason for ceasing treatment under the scheme. This leaves thousands of vulnerable patients in a precarious situation.
Selja emphasized the crucial role Ayushman Bharat plays in providing healthcare access to the poor and marginalized. She questioned the state’s priorities, highlighting the irony of budget cuts impacting this vital scheme while simultaneously planning new medical colleges.
The MP’s statement raises serious concerns about the state government’s commitment to healthcare for its most vulnerable citizens. The unpaid dues crisis not only impacts access to healthcare but also raises questions about financial mismanagement and its consequences for the state’s healthcare infrastructure. This situation demands immediate attention and a transparent resolution to ensure the scheme’s continued effectiveness.
