Telangana's Health Care Crisis

Thousands of poor families in Telangana are suffering as private hospitals suspend Aarogyasri services — the govt hasn’t cleared dues of nearly ₹1,500 crore.

👉 For patients, this isn’t politics. It’s life or death.
- Mothers waiting for heart surgeries.
- Children needing cancer treatment.
- Families forced to borrow or walk away from hospitals without care.

The government has failed, and patients are paying the price.

💔 Who is hurting?

- BPL families who depended on Aarogyasri for cashless treatment.
- Patients being turned away from private hospitals.
- Overloaded government hospitals that cannot handle the sudden rush.

✅ What should happen NOW

1. Clear pending dues immediately – lives can’t wait.
2. Insurance-backed bridge funding – guarantee cashless care until dues are settled.
3. Transparent timelines – patients deserve clarity on claim settlements.
4. Emergency grievance redressal – quick reimbursement for families forced to pay.

🙏 Options for patients right now

- Government hospitals → still treating Aarogyasri beneficiaries.
- If forced to pay privately:
• Collect ALL documents: bills, receipts, discharge summary, prescriptions, diagnostic reports.
• Call Aarogyasri Helpline 104 to register a complaint and get a reference number.
• Visit the official portal: https://aarogyasri.telangana.gov.in for empanelled hospital list, claim process, and grievances.
- Other schemes → Check if eligible for Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) or other state-run health schemes.
- Seek help → NGOs, local reps, or patient support groups can arrange transfers or funds.

📌 Useful Tip

Keep digital copies (photos/scans) of every medical document — they are vital for any future reimbursement or legal claim. Even if cashless is denied, documentation keeps your right alive.
