21 Gujarat Hospitals Suspended from PMJAY over violations

Following the Khyati Hospital scam, the Gujarat health department has suspended 21 hospitals from the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY) between April and June 2025 for serious irregularities and violations of protocols.

According to the news reports, five hospitals were suspended in April and four in June, reflecting the government's ongoing efforts to ensure accountability and transparency in the implementation of PMJAY.

The suspended hospitals faced serious allegations such as inflating medical bills, tampering with patient records, and failing to meet basic infrastructure and safety standards. In many instances, hospitals were found admitting patients referred from other institutions—against PMJAY protocol—and selecting high-cost treatment packages unnecessarily, especially in neonatal care.

Several hospitals recorded unusually high mortality rates, raising concerns about the quality of care provided. Additionally, many facilities were found lacking in basic infrastructure and safety standards, such as operating without fire safety NOCs, the absence of CCTV surveillance in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs), and poor hygiene in operation theatres. Some hospitals were also running operations on floors that did not have the required Building Use (BU) permissions.
