MP Ayushman Scheme Row: 300 Hospitals Face Closure Over New NABH Rule
•300 hospitals in Bhopal, Indore, Jabalpur, Gwalior face closure due to a new mandatory NABH final level certification rule under the Ayushman Bharat scheme.
•Hospital operators and doctors are protesting in Bhopal, demanding the abolition of the NABH final level certification requirement.
•Protesters argue the rule is impossible for small hospitals and benefits large corporate hospitals, potentially leading to millions becoming unemployed.
•Doctors allege the state government is promoting medical corporate hubs, undermining the scheme's purpose for poor patients.
•Last year, an investigation using the Daksh Ayushman Model revealed private hospitals siphoning off government funds under Ayushman Bharat, leading to action.
