It seems that the payment of the last minute has averted a possible crisis in many major government hospitals of medical universities (MCHS), which expected a lack of equipment because the chamber of distributors of medical implants and one -off sites (CDMID) again stopped the supply of basic supplies to cardiology.
This is not the first time that suppliers and distributors of critical heart accessories such as stents, heart catheters and PTCA balloons are threatening to stop MCHS until the government clears the waiting accounts of Crores caused by them.
Two weeks ago, the government entered to avert a similar crisis when CDMID pointed out that it could no longer provide supplies to government hospitals in various programs because the waiting accounts have exceeded over 158 GBP Crore.
The head of the Cardiology Department of the Faculty of Medicine Thiruvananthapuram, one of the busiest cardiology departments in the state, recently wrote a superintendent and warned him of the expected lack of heart supplements and the possibility to stop heart procedures if suppliers could not be modified.
In the last few years, public hospitals have been stressed in the last few years due to lack of drugs, equipment, implants and surgical supplies that often force hospitals to stop cardiac operations. Purchases owned by the government owed to public hospitals and distributors of implants and stents, as a payment for free treatment offered within Karunya arrogya Surraksha Padhati with grow.
Every time the crisis intervenes, the government coughs several crors to pay part of the fees to avert the immediate situation.
Resources at the State Health Agency have reported that in the last two weeks the government has been released 223.73 GBP Crore through SHA to determine the fees of public hospitals under KASP and the Benevolent Karunya Fund, including $ 99 Crore issued two days ago. The current crisis over the lack of the offer has been averted, they said.
