Patna. Patients coming under Ayushman Yojana have to wait a long time for surgery. Especially they are facing the most trouble in getting heart disease surgery done. The hospital management is giving pain of long wait to the patients coming for treatment of heart diseases in PMCH, NMCH, IGIMS, Patna AIIMS and IGIMS, which are included in the major government medical college hospitals of the state. While heart patients are operated upon in private hospitals within a maximum of two-three days, they have to wait for a month in government hospitals.
Delay in valve replacement and stent placement
Most of the problems are being faced by the patients in IGIC and IGIMS in getting valve replacement, stent and other surgeries for heart disease. Modern Cathlab facility is available here but waiting is going on for valves and stents. According to experts, due to non-availability of paperwork, valves and stents, patients are being deprived of operation for an average of 20 days. On the other hand, if Ayushman’s patients go to a private hospital for treatment, then the surgery is done within two days.
Patients come from all over Bihar
Patients from all over Bihar including Patna come for treatment in all the concerned medical college hospitals. On the other hand, if the operation is not done on time, it directly benefits other hospitals as well. Touts of hospitals take distressed patients to private hospitals with them. Patients are also troubled by waiting and consider it appropriate to get the operation done in a private hospital by making arrangements for one to one and a half lakh rupees.
