Andhra Pradesh private hospitals resume April 8 after ₹1,000 cr
India
After six days of disrupted healthcare, private hospitals across Andhra Pradesh are set to resume services from April 8.
The strike ended when the state government agreed to pay ₹1,000 crore in overdue funds under the Dr. NTR Vaidya Seva scheme, a major relief for both hospitals and patients who rely on this health insurance program.
Andhra Pradesh promises ₹150-₹170 cr monthly
The ₹1,000 crore will be split among about 600 hospitals, but there's still another ₹1,000 crore pending.
The government has promised regular monthly payments going forward (₹150 to ₹170 crore each month), though some extra backlog may keep adding up.
With over 500 private hospitals likely to resume full services from April 8, people depending on these facilities can finally breathe a little easier.
