Health Ministry consults states for uniform healthcare rates

Health Ministry to consult states for uniform healthcare rates nationwide: Report

<h2>As the Health Ministry will consult the state governments to standardise health care costs, the Association of Healthcare Providers will flie an intervention with the Supreme Court on behalf of the industry</h2>

The health ministry will start consultation with the state governments this week to make the health care costs uniform across the nation, reported The Economic Times. As per the report, the Health Ministry will take suggestions from the state governments to fix charges for treatments at health care centres across the nation.
Uniform treatment charge 
This comes after Supreme Court raised concerns over the wide variation in treatment costs between government and private healthcare centres. It also directed the centre to expeditiously fix treatment charges to be paid by patients. The Apex court has given siz weeks time for implementing it.
The Supreme Court further cristicised the Centre for failing to fix a range of rates within which private hospitals and clinics can charge patients. The court also noted that though a rule in this regard was made 12 years ago, the government has not enforced it yet.&nbsp;

It was the Supreme Court that suggested the Central Health Secretary to meet with its state counterparts to set the price range, ending the disparity in rates and ensuring notification of a standard rate within a month.
"Health is a state subject; the Centre can only to some extent direct the states. However, as suggested by the court, we will hold consultations to seek their suggestions and file a reply before the Supreme Court," a person in the know told The Economic Times.
The Supreme Court further asserted that citizens have a fundamental right to healthcare, and the government cannot evade its responsibility in ensuring this right while highlighting the stark difference in treatment costs between government and private healthcare centres
<h3>Plea by association of healthcare providers&nbsp;</h3>
Meanwhile, the Association of Healthcare Providers (AHPI) that represents small and medium hospitals will file an intervention with the Supreme Court on behalf of the industry this week, Girdhar Gyani, director general of the association, told ET.
The report further mentioned that Gyani has written to the Health Ministry recommending working out costing of various procedures based on established scientific principles and fixing rates in the 'range' to address the categorisation of establishments.
Likewise Private hospitals have also said that the move will be catastrophic for the industry as there are too many variables involved.
"The cost depends on so many other factors, even geographies. The input cost is higher in Delhi than in UP. Since the minimum wages are lower in UP, the hospital may choose to pass it on to the patients. But the same cannot be applied in a place like Delhi. If it is standardised, the quality will suffer," an executive told The Economic Times.
Another Executive told The Economic Times that the cost structure is different in each hospital "as it depends on various factors like the experience of the doctors, facilities in the OT, the kind of infection control policy which is adopted by the hospital, patient safety measures, IT services etc." "Price cannot be standardised for a big hospital and a small clinic," the executive told the Publication.

"It is clarified that all such reports are without any basis and mischievous in nature. Co-WIN portal of Health Ministry is completely safe with adequate safeguards for data privacy," it said.

'Mischievous in nature': govt refutes reports of data leak from CoWin App

"It is clarified that all such reports are without any basis and mischievous in nature. Co-WIN portal of Health Ministry is completely safe with adequate safeguards for data privacy," it said.

The Union Health Ministry on Monday said reports claiming breach of data of beneficiaries registered on the CoWIN platform were "without any basis", and that it has requested the country's nodal cyber security agency CERT-In to look into the issue and submit a report.
While asserting that the CoWIN portal is completely safe with adequate safeguards for data privacy, it said an internal exercise has been initiated to review the existing security measures of CoWIN.
There are reports alleging a breach of data from the Co-WIN portal of the Union Health Ministry, which is a repository of all data of beneficiaries who have been vaccinated against COVID-19, the health ministry said in a statement.
The ministry, however, said it has requested the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) to look into the issue and submit a report.

The DGCA had issued show cause notices to over 20 e-pharmacies, for violation of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act 1940, as they were found to be selling schedule H, H1 and X without a valid licence. In response the FICCI wrote to the Union government showing concerns over the notices.

The govt of India has given a point-by-point rebuttal to the New York Times, which in a recent article claimed that India stalled the World Health Organisation's efforts to make the global Covid death toll public.
The NYT article claimed that an ambitious effort by the WHO to calculate the global death toll from the coronavirus pandemic has found that vastly more people died than previously believed - a total of 15 million by end of 2021, more than double the official total of 6 million reported by countries individually.

The NYT claimed, more than one-third of the additional nine million deaths are estimated to have occurred in India, adding that, WHO estimates show that India's death toll is at least 4 million, eight times the official numbers.
India's official statistics put the death toll due to Covid at 5,21,965 till April 18, 2022.

India has questioned the World Health Organisation's methodology to estimate Covid-19 mortalities in the country. The govt has argued that mathematical modelling cannot be applied to estimate the mortality figures for a nation of such vast geographical size and population.
The govt said, the WHO calculation is based on unverified data from 18 Indian states, which raises questions about the accuracy of such a modelling exercise.
The ministry further said, that the assumption of an inverse relationship between monthly temperature and monthly average deaths does not have any scientific backing to establish such a peculiar empirical relationship.
This is not the first time that questions have been raised on the WHO's calculations. The govt says, India, along with other WHO member states like China, Bangladesh, Iran and Syria, also raised specific queries regarding the methodology.
