Ahmedabad Mirror|December 24, 2024
Standard Operating Protocols cover critical specialities like cardiology, oncology, arthroplasty and neonatal care State Health Minister Rushikesh Patel on Monday announced new stringent Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for procedures under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY)-MA scheme at empanelled hospitals to prevent malpractices and ensure transparency.
New SOPs out for PMJAY procedures

These updated guidelines focus on cardiology, oncology, neonatal care and arthroplasty.

The move comes in the wake of the Khyati Hospital case where two patients died after botched-up angioplasty. The hospital was found to have carried out angioplasty procedures despite no medical necessity and also categorised them as "emergency" to expedite government approval.

Numerous complaints of criminal intent and malpractice by some private hospitals have been recorded since the Khyati hospital case came to light.

In 2024 alone, 14 hospitals were suspended, de-equipped and fined for violations. A total fine of Rs 18 crore has been imposed, highlighting the government’s zero-tolerance policy against unethical practices.

Ensuring patient safety, ensuring accountability
