JP Nadda said that I request CM Bhagwant Mann to clear the dues of hospitals as soon as possible. He said that payment of dues would help common poor people to get treatment.
In fact, private hospitals and nursing home associations in Punjab have stopped cashless treatment under many health insurance schemes. Ayushman Bharat Yojana is also included in these schemes. Union Minister JP Nadda raised the issue and advised the Punjab government to release the outstanding amount.
