Private hospitals in Bhopal are protesting against delayed payments and the proposed mandatory National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers (NABH) certification under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. Doctors from the United Private Hospitals and Diagnostic Association (UPHDA) gathered at the Ayushman scheme office at the JP Hospital campus, demanding immediate clearance of outstanding payments and withdrawal of the NABH requirement.
The doctors claim that they have not received payments for the past five to six months, making it difficult for them to pay medicine vendors and staff. The dispute has intensified over the mandatory NABH certification, with private hospitals fearing de-empanelment from the Ayushman scheme.
