After the AP Specialty Hospitals Association strike entered its second day on Thursday, Praja Arogya Vedika (PAV) urged the state government to address the concerns of the network of hospitals as soon as possible and immediately resume services under Dr. NTR Vaidya Seva.
In a letter to Health, Medical Education and Family Welfare Minister Satya Kumar Yadav, PAV members alleged that the disruption of health services under the scheme will cause severe hardship to the economically weaker sections who are totally dependent on the system to access critical and life-saving treatments.
The members urged the government to speed up the clearing of outstanding charges to hospitals, open a constructive dialogue with hospital associations to restore services without delay and ensure that beneficiaries of the scheme do not suffer financial or administrative constraints.
