J&K High Court Acts on Cardiac Services Collapse
The J&K and Ladakh High Court is very upset because the heart hospital in Jammu stopped working.
The vendors who supply important heart machines stopped delivering because the hospital didn't pay them about ₹30 crore for over a year.
This means no heart surgeries or treatments could happen, which is very dangerous for sick people.
The court is now involved to fix this problem quickly.
The government says they are trying to get supplies from other places, but the vendors say they won't supply until they get paid.
The next hearing is on December 11.
J&K High Court took suo motu cognizance of the collapse of cardiac services at GSSH in Jammu.
Vendors suspended supply of essential cardiac devices due to unpaid dues of ₹30 crore under PMJAY.
Cath Lab operations at GSSH were completely paralyzed, affecting daily cardiac procedures.
The court directed the Registrar (Judicial) to register a petition in public interest.
Vendors claim pending payments with Amrit Pharmacy and State Health Agency have accumulated over a year.
