Bypassing Delhi Govt, Centre invites Delhi private hospitals to participate in Ayushman Bharat

The centre and the Delhi Government are in a tussle over the name of the Scheme in the capital
New Delhi: While the tussle for the launch of the prime minister's ambitious health project in the capital still continues, the central government is reported to have directly approached Delhi-based private hospitals to be a part of Ayushman Bharat health insurance programme. The National Health Agency (NHA) has invited non-government hospitals in the capital to get empanelled with Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY).
The catch that comes with the direct empanelment would be that only patients from other neighbouring states would receive the benefit. As the Delhi government is yet to give its nod to the participation of the scheme, residents of Delhi would be denied of the Benefit of Modicare.
The hospitals which are being called for joining Ayushman Bharat scheme are accredited with the National Accreditation Board of Hospitals (NABH). These include Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket; Sir Ganga Ram Hospital; Fortis, Shalimar Bagh; Fortis, Vasant Kunj, Moolchand Hospital; Delhi Heart and Lung Institute; Pushpawati Singhania Research Institute; Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute; Batra Hospital; Sitaram Bhartia Institute; and Primus Super Speciality Hospital, among others.
