The signing of an MoU between the Rajasthan government, Indian Medical Association- Rajasthan, Private Hospital and Nursing Home Society (PHNHS) and United Private Clinics and Hospitals of Rajasthan (UPCHAR) takes the state one step closer to launching a Right to Health (RTH) Bill.
Or does it?
Once the eight-point MoU is applied, only 47 out of the state’s 4100 private health facilities remain part of the Bill. Eleven of these 47 health facilities are private medical colleges, while 36 got land at concessional rates, two of the inclusion criteria of the MoU.
