JAMMU, Apr 4: Apni Party provincial secretary and Incharge membership drive, Dr Rohit Gupta has demanded action against the private nursing homes across Jammu which do not acknowledge Ayushman health cards from the patients to treat various ailments.
In a statement issued today, Dr Rohit Gupta said that the private clinics are allegedly denying treatment to the patients who hold Ayushman health cards, thereby disobeying the norms of Government of India and harassing the people.
He said that the Government should take strict action against the nursing homes which do not consider the Ayushman health cards for medical treatment. “The health cards were provided so that the needy and financially weaker section can avail the benefits of free of cost treatment up to Rs 5 lakhs in any hospital which also include surgery,” he said.
He however pointed out that the private nursing homes are compelling the patients to pay excessive charges even after producing the Ayushman cards. “There is no accountability of these nursing homes which are openly flouting the norms,” he said, while seeking action from the authorities against these nursing homes.
