The Non-Governmental Hospital Association of Mizoram (NGHAM), an umbrella body of all private and church-run hospitals in the northeastern Indian state, has expressed their willingness to implement a healthcare scheme.
Officials of the state health department said the association after its meeting on January 24 informed Health Minister R. Lalthangliana of its willingness to implement the healthcare scheme. Earlier in December, the government had suspended the empanelment of more than 15 private and church-run hospitals for allegedly refusing to implement the Mizoram State Health Car Scheme (MSHCS).
This led to misunderstanding and heated exchange between the state government and private hospitals.
The association relented following an appeal from the health minister. Lalthangliana had earlier appealed to the association to implement the state healthcare scheme by following the government’s notified rate for medical expense to be charged from patients.
