Just this month, probe was launched against 11 hospitals in Uttarakhand for allegedly claiming money under Ayushman Bharat in the name of ghost patients.
The PM-JAY or Ayushman Bharat health insurance scheme currently covers the poorest 40%, but the Modi govt plans to merge all state & central schemes under it.
Diabetes, ischemic heart diseases and respiratory disorders are among major diseases ailing Indians. Ayushman Bharat looks to target 50 crore poor Indians.
Ayushman Bharat CEO Indu Bhushan wants to digitise health and wellness centres that will help it fix appointments for beneficiaries and track medical history of patients.
Over generations, Bihar’s bane has been its utter lack of urbanisation. But now, even Bihar is urbanising. Or let’s say, rurbanising. Two decades under Nitish Kumar have created a new elite in its cities.
Indian govt officials last month skipped Turkish National Day celebrations in Delhi, in a message to Ankara following its support for Islamabad, particularly during Operation Sindoor.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
It’s wrong assumption that drs salaries are responsible for low revenue of corporate hospitals. Actually when you pay ₹100 bill, only 10-15 ₹ go to Drs pocket cumulative ly. .Rest is hospitals earning. Barring few celebrity drs, majority drs are exploited in corporate set up.
There is a clear indication of government that private hospitals should not be dependent completely on implants and consumables. There are several diseases spread across country on which doctors and hospitals never focus. Doctors must start working on capturing clinical data and analysing it through available analytical tools. To maintain quality of hospitals to attract international and corporate patients, we have NABH quality indicators which can be analysed further to improve operational efficiency. If a hospital maintain their bed occupancy for the right ailments, probably the question of selling will never come. I feel thankful to trained managers of hospitals who brought hospitals at such stage.
Most of these hospital managers are completely unaware of the laws and ethics governing the medical profession and usually harass the doctors to achieve targets. Most public believes that it is the doctors that are at fault.. Once you join these hospitals, the management simpley puts forward its demands to the doctor because they are paying good salaries. Even other industries expect results but not by violating ethics and human rights.
In order to avoid breaching of these rules, hospital managmenet & business management graduates who plan to operate hospitals should first know them. Unfortunately, most corporate hospital managements borrow talent from the pharma industry where they are aware of the rules governing the medical profession but try to convince the doctor to work contrary to it.
Greed is the main cause
Healthcare expenses and Cost to patient (CTP) are one of the lowest in India.
Cut doctor’s salary, that’s the only solution they will come up with…

Perhaps the state of the economy is a contributory factor. Difficult to think of a single industry or sector that is in the pink of financial health.
