With the State government failing to meet any of their demands, private hospitals under the Telangana Aarogyasri Network Hospitals Association (TANHA), have continued to suspend medical services since January 10. As a result, all the health care services for the general public under Aarogyasri Health Insurance, government employees under the Employee Health Scheme (EHS), and Journalists Health Scheme (JHS) have continued to remain suspended in small and medium-sized hospitals.

“Our doctors are not willing to work because hospitals are unable to pay their consultation amounts and salaries. Suppliers are about to stop their supplies because hospitals have been unable to pay their amount for the last six months. In this regard, we have given representation to the Aarogyasri CEO and Health Minister. But no action till now, said president, TANHA Dr, V, Rakesh.
Over 360 members of TANHA, consisting of hospitals with 100 to 400 beds, have been participating in the Aarogyasri Health Strike since January 10. The average monthly medical bills for Aarogyasri, EHS, and JHS patients from all TANHA hospitals in Telangana is close to Rs. 100 crore, which works out to Rs. 1200 to Rs. 1300 crore annually. The State government’s inability to clear the pending medical bills has forced the members of TANHA to withdraw Aarogyasri, EHS, and JHS services.

A token amount of Rs. 100 crore, which covers just one month of the pending medical bills for members of TANHA was offered by the State government through Aarogyasri on Thursday.
However, it was rejected by members of TANHA. “Whenever there is inordinate delay in the release of medical bills, it has become a habit to release a token amount of Rs. 100 crore and expect the private hospitals to fall in line.

However, this is not reassuring for us. The State government must look to resolve the issue of frequent delays in payment of medical bills permanently, the members of TANHA said
The healthcare facilities under Arogyasri, however, have continued uninterrupted in specialty hospitals in Hyderabad. (Maxim News)
