The Uttar Pradesh government recently initiated a major hospital license cancellation drive across the state. Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak announced that authorities revoked the licenses of 178 private hospitals following various complaints. These actions address concerns regarding unethical practices and failure to meet established medical standards. However, the government reinstated 59 licenses after formal hearings and appeals.
The state government received approximately 500 complaints against private healthcare facilities before taking action. Furthermore, officials filed FIRs against 281 hospitals for operating while violating established norms. Additionally, the health department seized 533 facilities to prevent further regulatory mismanagement. Consequently, authorities issued formal notices to 1,542 other hospitals, directing them to improve their services immediately.
Moreover, Deputy CM Pathak addressed the assembly regarding concerns over excessive billing in private hospitals. Currently, the state government does not have a policy to fix consultation fees or medical test rates. Therefore, private hospitals maintain autonomy over their specific pricing structures. Nevertheless, the public can access free treatment through state hospitals and the Ayushman Bharat scheme. This national program provides significant financial relief for cardholders and senior citizens.
