The Uttar Pradesh government enforced strict action against 200 private hospitals. These facilities failed to maintain Ayushman Scheme compliance under the PM-JAY flagship project. Specifically, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath ordered the suspension of nearly 100 hospitals. Furthermore, the state stopped payments to another 100 units for violating essential standards. This initiative aims to ensure accountability and quality care for economically weaker patients.
Hospitals must now transition to the Hospital Empanelment Module (HEM) 2.0 portal. However, roughly 200 private facilities missed the migration deadline despite repeated reminders. Consequently, authorities intensified monitoring at both state and district levels. CEO of SACHIS Archana Verma stated that the new system requires adherence to 35 critical standards. These include valid fire safety clearances, infrastructure requirements, and verified doctor qualifications.
Additionally, the state is pushing for larger healthcare digitization through ABDM-enabled systems. The government directed all empanelled hospitals to obtain NABH certification soon. Therefore, hospitals must implement Electronic Health Records (EHR) to improve patient management. Authorities are also investigating the misuse of medical degrees. Strict action will follow any detected credential fraud under existing legal rules.
Q1: What are the primary reasons for the suspension of these 200 hospitals?
The primary reasons include failure to meet 35 prescribed standards and not completing the migration to the HEM 2.0 portal despite multiple reminders from the state agency.
Q2: Which certifications are now mandatory for empanelled hospitals in UP?
Hospitals must obtain NABH quality certification and comply with mandatory requirements like valid fire safety clearances, infrastructure norms, and proper doctor registration.
Q3: How is the government improving transparency in the Ayushman scheme?
The state is implementing ABDM-enabled hospital management systems and a phased rollout of Electronic Health Records (EHR) to enhance accountability and patient management.
