Haryana Private Hospitals to Suspend Ayushman Bharat Services Over Pending Payments
Private hospitals in Haryana plan a 24-hour suspension of Ayushman Bharat services on September 1 due to pending claims totaling around Rs 1,000-1,200 crore, as reported by the Indian Medical Association (IMA) Haryana. The IMA cites prolonged payment delays causing financial strain, with some smaller hospitals closing. Emergency services will continue during the strike. The association has given the government time until September 15 to clear dues, warning of a possible extended shutdown if payments remain unsettled.
