Maharashtra’s Public Health and Family Welfare Minister, Prakash Abitkar, stated during a Legislative Assembly session that hospitals under MJPJAY and AB-PMJAY face inquiry and action if they do not offer free treatment. These schemes aim to provide cost-free medical care to the public, with the minister assuring that complaints will be addressed promptly.
The government’s focus is on ensuring transparent and efficient delivery of free healthcare services to those in need. Minister Abitkar highlighted the importance of these initiatives in reaching citizens who require medical assistance, emphasizing the government’s commitment to this cause.
In response to concerns raised by various members, including Gopichand Padalkar and Nana Patole, the minister discussed improvements in the 108 ambulance service and plans for a new staffing structure in the Health Department. Efforts are underway to enhance service quality and address staffing issues to better serve the public.
Members of the Legislative Assembly actively participated in the discussions, raising supplementary questions and seeking clarification on various healthcare-related matters.
