Private hospitals under Aarogyasri in Telangana threaten to call a strike
Advertisement
Telangana state health department appears to be in a financial crisis, after an emerging report that 170-odd private hospitals under Aarogyasri have threatened to call a strike. The matter concerning them is the non-payment of their dues worth 200 crore over the past five and a half months. However, no data has been confirmed yet for beginning the strike, or stalling the Aarogyasri services.
Hyderabad and Ranga Reddy districts in Telangana have the highest number of 105 private empanelled Aarogyasri hospitals, followed by 26 in Warangal, 17 in Karimnagar, nine in Khammam, eight in Nizamabad, five in Mahbubnagar and four in Medak.
Other issues concerning the private hospitals include that the team under Aarogyasri hospitals is required to conduct health camps thrice in a month, which can be as far as 300 km away sometimes.
It has been more than two weeks since the office-bearers of the Telangana Private Hospitals and Nursing Homes' Association, (THANA) brought their plight to the notice of the Aarogyasri Health Care Trust (AHCT) officials. However, there has been no response yet, they rued, as confirmed by TOI.
