No salaries before Eid, J&Ks dialysis centres struggle to stay afloat
By Mansoor Peer Srinagar, May 26: Empanelled private dialysis centres across J&K have been forced to sell their machines and equipment due to pending payments under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. The delay in reimbursement has adversely affected patient care and put the jobs of health workers at risk.The healthcare crisis in these centres has reached a new low. Due to years of pending payments under Ayushman BharatSEHAT Scheme, private dialysis centres are facing bankruptcy. Dr Abdul Rashid Reshi, Director Kidneycare and Diagnostic Centre, Srinagar, is among many owners of these centres who have been affected and are not getting the payments regularly. I am not getting payments regularly from Ayushman Bharat scheme of my haemodialysis patients and a huge amount is pending with State Health Agency for the last two years, he said. Reshi, ex professor and head of nephrology SKIMS, said he is unable to pay money to suppliers for disposable items while the electricity bills are pending, rent of the dialysis unit is unpaid, diesel expenses and salaries of the employees is pending for 6 months. It is impossible to run my dialysis centre under such circumstances. I appeal to the Lieutenant Governor and Chief Minister to help me in such circumstances and get the long-standing pending payments released. Otherwise, I am destined to close the unit and sell the machines and other equipment so that I can pay the pending payments, he said. Sandeep Mengi President (Jammu region) Jammu and Kashmir Private Hospitals and Dialysis Centres Association (JKPHDA) called the payment delay unfortunate stating that dialysis owners are being forced to take such steps, which will have devastating effects and patients will suffer as dialysis is a life-saving procedure. Missing even one session can be fatal for kidney patients. If centres close, thousands of Golden Card beneficiaries will have no access to care. Government hospitals lack the capacity to absorb this patient load, he said. Sandeep said not releasing payments on time will lead to unemployment as each dialysis unit employs doctors, technicians, nurses, and support staff. Closure means direct job losses for skilled healthcare workers, and it will hit hard critical medical infrastructure that took years to build. Dr. Masood ul Hassan, General Secretary of JKPHDA said that despite regular follow-ups with the Government regarding pending payments, the delay is now affecting centre operations. We urge immediate intervention to ensure patients continue receive uninterrupted care.He added that the delay in Ayushman Bharat payments has put financial strain on centres. Unfortunately, we were unable to pay our staff before Eid, which has caused distress during what should have been a festive time, he said. JKPHDA has demanded immediate release of dues and a shift the payment process to insurance mode, warning that if life-saving machines are sold for scrap today, patients will suffer tomorrow.

Rs 300 Cr payment backlog pushes 60 J&K dialysis centres to brink of closure
Dialysis centres across J&K are on the verge of collapse due to massive pending payments under the Ayushman BharatSehat Scheme, threatening treatment access for thousands of kidney patients who rely on life-saving dialysis services every day, the J&K Private Hospitals and Dialysis Centres Association (JKPHDA. The association warned that continued delay in the release of dues by the State Health Agency (SHA) has pushed private dialysis centres into an unprecedented financial crisis, with several facilities struggling to purchase essential medical consumables, retain staff and sustain operations. General Secretary of JKPHDA, Dr Masood-ul-Hassan, said hundreds of crores in legitimate claims remain unpaid, with some bills pending since 2021, severely disrupting the functioning of dialysis centres that shoulder the bulk of patient care in J&K. Dialysis centres are on the verge of shutting down as legitimate dues under the Ayushman BharatSehat Scheme have remained unpaid for years. Due to this financial chokehold, many centres are unable to purchase essential dialysis consumables such as dialysers, tubing sets and medicines. In several units, there are no funds left even to pay salaries of doctors, technicians and nursing staff, Dr Hassan said. According to JKPHDA, nearly 1,500 dialysis patients are treated every day through around 60 private dialysis centres across J&K, compared to approximately 300 patients in the government sector, highlighting the dependence of the healthcare system on private facilities for renal care. Dr Hassan said private dialysis centres currently handle over 70 per cent of Golden Card beneficiaries and warned that any disruption in services could prove fatal for patients suffering from kidney disease. Dialysis is not optional; it is a life-saving intervention. A single missed dialysis session can become fatal for a kidney patient. Private centres have continued services despite mounting losses because patients lives are at stake, but we have reached a stage where centres are being forced to choose between buying consumables and paying staff salaries. Neither option is sustainable anymore, he said. The association claimed that despite a total healthcare budget allocation of 625 crore for 202526 under the scheme, dialysis centres continue to face acute liquidity stress, alleging that around 200 crore was overspent while pending dues till March 2026 alone have crossed 300 crore. Criticising the existing implementation framework, Dr Hassan said the current Trust Mode system has failed to ensure timely payments and accountability. The present Trust Mode of implementation has completely failed in Jammu and Kashmir. Unlike Insurance Mode, there is no fixed payment timeline or accountability mechanism. Vendors have stopped supplies because of unpaid bills and trained staff are resigning due to months of unpaid salaries. If immediate intervention is not made, we may have no choice but to suspend services, he said. He said healthcare workers in dialysis centres have continued to work for months without salaries to ensure continuity of care for critically ill patients. Our doctors, technicians and support staff have worked without salaries for months simply to keep patients alive. But no institution can survive indefinitely without operational funds. The government must act immediately, he added. The association appealed to Lieutenant Governor and Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir to urgently intervene, release all pending dues and shift the scheme to an Insurance Mode system to prevent disruption of dialysis services. JKPHDA warned that failure to address the crisis could trigger a humanitarian emergency, leaving thousands of economically vulnerable kidney patients without access to life-saving treatment.
