How does privatisation benefit public: Critics on pvt med colleges

This proposal contrasts with previous requirements for investors to purchase land. Under the new plan, the govt will provide land and patient access at district hospitals, while private entities invest in medical education, according to JSA. Critics question the govt's decision. "When the hospital and land areas are govt lands, then the govt should also build the buildings, provide facilities from its own resources, and establish govt medical colleges," stated Amulya Nidhi and Rajkumar Sinha of JSA. The proposal includes a provision for Ayushman cardholders to receive up to 75% free treatment at hospitals affiliated with these private medical colleges. However, current public hospitals, including those attached to govt medical colleges, offer entirely free care.
