Ayushman Bharat Scheme: This news from Lucknow directly concerns millions of families for whom the Ayushman Bharat scheme has become their greatest hope for treatment.

The government is now preparing to strengthen and strengthen the private hospital system affiliated with this scheme. A major decision has been taken in this direction, requiring all private hospitals to re-evaluate their standards.

How many hospitals are linked to the scheme in the state

Currently, approximately 6,200 hospitals are listed under the Ayushman Bharat scheme in the state. These include approximately 3,200 private and 3,000 government hospitals.

Until now, all these hospitals were registered on the old HEM One portal, but now all hospitals are being linked to the new and advanced HEM 2.0 portal provided by the central government.

The new HEM 2.0 portal will be fully implemented in January.

The new portal will be fully implemented in January. Hospitals will be required to re-upload all information related to their services to the portal. This will include complete information, from the Fire Department’s NOC to patient outpatient department (OPD) facilities, admission facilities, treatment, testing, and operations. The clear objective is to ensure patients receive safe and quality treatment under all circumstances.

A team from the State Agency for Health and Comprehensive Integrated Services (SACHIS) will conduct a thorough inspection of all this information.
