Haryana Private Hospitals to Suspend Ayushman Bharat Services Over Payment Delays
Private hospitals in Haryana, represented by the Indian Medical Association (IMA), have announced a 24-hour suspension of Ayushman Bharat services on September 1 due to delays in payment disbursements exceeding six months, far beyond the agreed 15-day timeline. The IMA highlighted financial difficulties faced by hospitals, including one closure, and warned that continued delays could affect healthcare availability for beneficiaries. The suspension is a symbolic protest, with a potential full withdrawal of services if payments are not cleared by September 16.
