Madhya Pradesh Private Hospitals Plan Boycott Over NABH Accreditation and Payment Delays
Private hospitals in Madhya Pradesh plan to boycott the Ayushman Bharat Niramayam scheme from October 8, citing mandatory NABH accreditation and delayed payments as key issues. Around 330 hospitals in major cities face debarment due to lack of NABH certification, which is voluntary. Associations representing private hospitals and nursing homes demand timely payment clearance, policy clarity, and fair grievance mechanisms. They have also filed a petition in the High Court and warned of statewide strikes if concerns remain unresolved.
