25 p.c. beds in network hospitals for Arogyasri

HYDERABAD: The State government has decided to earmark 25 per cent of beds in each speciality in the network hospitals (private and government) for patients covered under Arogyasri health insurance scheme.

A decision to this effect was taken at a review meeting of the Arogyasri Healthcare Trust chaired by Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy on Friday. The day coincided with the successful completion of one lakh surgeries under the scheme for the benefit of the white card holders.

The meeting also decided to include 77 new treatments (procedures) in the scheme. The new packages are in 14 specialities and approved under the Rajiv Arogyasri phase II.

This will augment treatment under trauma and enlarge the scope of coverage in Ophthalmology and ENT. It will also supplement the procedures in critical areas in general surgery, general medicine, critical care, intensive care in children, OBG, Renal, Neurosurgery and Rheumatology.
