J&K private hospitals seek shift to insurance mode under SEHAT scheme

The J&K Private Hospitals and Dialysis Centres Association (JKPHDA) has strongly urged the government to implement the Ayushman BharatSehat Scheme in the Union Territory through the Insurance Mode instead of the existing Trust Mode, citing massive payment delays and growing financial distress among private healthcare institutions. President of the association, Mir Faizan, said that under the present Trust Mode, reimbursements to hospitals remain pending for months and, in some cases, years. He said private hospitals across J&K are facing outstanding dues worth hundreds of crores, with some payments pending since 2021. He warned that the prolonged delays have pushed several private hospitals and dialysis centres to the verge of closure, threatening critical healthcare services in the region. Faizan said the Insurance Mode, already adopted in several states, ensures timely reimbursements through professional insurance companies, enhances accountability, and protects both patients and healthcare providers from financial uncertainty. He added that it would help prevent disruptions in essential services such as dialysis, oncology, and cardiac care. General Secretary of the association, Dr Masood-ul-Hassan, said that despite the expiry of the PS8 period last month, nearly 60 percent of payments are still pending. He said the associations primary concern is uninterrupted patient care and stressed that a transparent and efficient payment mechanism would restore confidence among hospitals and ensure continued treatment for Golden Card beneficiaries without disruption. The association appealed to Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to shift J&K to the Insurance Mode at the earliest, stating that the current Trust Mode has become unsustainable and risks adversely affecting patient care.

Hailstorm wreaks havoc in Kashmir

Baramulla, May 13:A massive hailstorm accompanied by strong winds wreaked havoc across several areas of north Kashmirs Baramulla district on Tuesday evening, causing widespread destruction to orchards and agricultural fields and leaving farming families in deep distress. The worst-hit areas include Sangrama, Wagoora, Kreeri, Pattan, Kandi, Choondosa, Pachhaar, Tangmarg, Khaipora, kandi belt and some parts of Rafiabad, where residents reported severe damage to apple orchards and standing crops. Arshad Ahmad, a fruit grower from Kandi Baramulla said that the intensity of the hail storm was so fast that in a moment the orchards presented devastation with a white layer of hail visible everywhere. Locals said nearly 90 percent of fruit crops were damaged within minutes as intense hail hit the area during the peak farming season. Eyewitnesses described heartbreaking scenes after the storm, with orchardists seen weeping while inspecting shattered fruit-bearing trees and flattened fields. Fayaz Ahmad, a resident of SheikhporaWagoora, said the hailstorm which continued for around 10 minutes, left the orchards across the area completely damaged and orchardists are completely devastated. We are devastated, Ahmad said. We are unable to understand what we will do for survival now. Farmers said they were expecting a promising harvest this year, but the sudden hailstorm destroyed months of hard work and investment. Everything has been ruined. We have suffered huge losses, said a grower from Kreeri. The hailstorm, which struck late Tuesday evening, triggered panic across several villages as large hailstones pounded orchards and vegetable farms for a considerable duration. Residents and growers have appealed to the administration and concerned departments to immediately conduct damage assessments and provide compensation and relief to affected families. Meanwhile, MLA Baramulla Javed Hassan Baig expressed concern over the devastation caused by the hailstorm in orchards across Baramulla district. He said the government would do everything possible to aid the affected families.
