Telangana Hospitals Avoid New Health Scheme
The Telangana Aarogyasri Network Hospitals Association (TANHA) has decided not to join the new health scheme for government employees called NEHS.
They say the rates for medical procedures are too low and they want to be part of the decision-making process.
The government has not paid them for services for 14 months, which adds to their problems.
TANHA wants doctors who are also lawmakers to be included in the decision-making body to ensure fair rates and better management of health services.
TANHA decides not to participate in the NEHS due to lower rates and lack of representation.
NEHS rates for medical procedures are lower than Aarogyasri rates.
TANHA demands representation in the decision-making body to ensure health experts handle health matters.
Government has not paid TANHA Rs 2,000 crore for 14 months.
TANHA wants doctor MLAs to be included in the decision-making process.
