Chandrababu has put public health for sale

Tadepalli, Sept 6: Former Minister Vidadala Rajini criticized the coalition government for putting medical care on sale in the state with the privatization of medical colleges and changing the Aarogyasri into an unsustainable module.
Speaking to media here on Saturday, she said while YS Jagan Mohan Reddy during his tenure has carefully built a medical system to benefit the poorer section of the society Chandrababu Naidu has been erasing it and putting the entire system into the hands of private players which will badly affect the poorer sections of the society.
Chandrababu has been changing public health into a business module which we strongly oppose, she said adding that the poorer sections of the people will be kept away from the medical system once the private players come into play.
The cabinet decision of medical colleges under PPP system badly affects the poorer sections as they were getting medical care free of cost from consultation to tests to surgery and recovery.
He has planned for 17 medical colleges and five of them were functioning and another five were near completion but Chandrababu has brought in the PPP model under medical education will be out of reach to the poor aspiring students.
We have allotted and acquired land for all the 17 colleges and the land bank is now being given on a platter to the private players which is nothing short of a scam, she said.
Chandrababu has been making money at the cost of health of poor and YSRCP strongly opposes the move as would widen the gap in society, she said adding that if the government goes ahead with PPP model we will reverse it after coming to power.
Changing the Aarogyasri into hybrid model is unviable as it has limitations and the poor who have been getting quality medical care stand to lose on numerous counts. YS Jagan Mohan Reddy government has spent Rs 3600 crore annually on medical care and people are now rethinking about their franchise.
The government is neglecting the health sector and is not paying bills and the bills of network hospitals are not being cleared. YS Jagan taken medical care to village level with clinics and family doctor concept which the coalition is trying to erase, she said and affirmed that YSRCP strongly opposes the privatization move.
