The Telangana Aarogyasri Network Hospitals Association (TANHA) has called off its protest and resumed healthcare services across the state after receiving assurances from Health Minister Damodar Raja Narasimha. The minister, along with senior officials, held late-night talks with TANHA representatives, promising resolution of both financial and administrative concerns.
Over 360 hospitals under Telangana’s Aarogyasri network have announced suspension of services to scheme beneficiaries starting August 31, citing unpaid dues amounting to Rs 1,300–1,400 crore. The Telangana Network Hospitals Association (TANHA) has raised concerns over the financial stress caused by delayed payments and unfulfilled promises from the government.
