On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will roll out the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY), which will provide an annual health cover of Rs 5 lakh for 50 crore people in 26 states.

Mewat:
LEANING BACK on a steel chair at City Care Hospital in Nuh, Mohammed Haneef is patiently waiting for a doctor to treat his “throat pain”, unsure of what the bill will finally add up to. The 40-year-old farmer from Ghasera in Mewat doesn’t know it yet. But in a few months, the bill will no longer be a concern — if City Care’s application to be empanelled on the list of private hospitals for the world’s largest government health insurance programme is cleared.

On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will roll out the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY), which will provide an annual health cover of Rs 5 lakh for 50 crore people in 26 states. In Haryana’s Mewat (Nuh), India’s most backward district, two government hospitals will join the national rollout. But it’s the number of private hospitals on the list that’s got health officials worried: zero.

This is mainly because of the lack of hospitals that can meet the “strict” empanelment criteria (see box), officials and owners across the district told The Indian Express. Most private hospitals are 5-6 bed facilities, they say, and people prefer to visit neighbourhood healers, or “quacks”, when it comes to most minor ailments.

“Of the 8,012 hospitals that have been empanelled across the country ahead of the launch on September 23, about 50 per cent are in the private sector. About 20,000 applications have been received so far,” says Dr Dinesh Arora, Deputy CEO, National Health Agency (NHA), which is in charge of implementing PMJAY.
