11 patients are awaiting heart surgeries in Super Speciality, 40 others for knee and hip replacement in Medical and 50 in Mayo.
Nagpur: Five months since the launch of ‘Ayushman Bharat Scheme’ by the central government, operations in government-run hospitals in the city have been stopped for past two months as funds being provided under this scheme are still not disbursed to the hospitals, sources said.
The central government launched ‘Ayushman Bharat Scheme’ in September to provide costly operations in government hospitals like Medical, Mayo and Super Speciality.
However, even as these hospitals started performing surgeries, the government failed to release the funds and as a result, hospitals have stopped the procedures, sources said.
Beneficiaries, who have been waiting for operations since last two months, are now questioning the purpose of the scheme, they said.
