Government vs Private Hospitals in Ahmedabad
Ahmedabad has both government and private hospitals empanelled under PM-JAY. Government hospitals like the medical college hospitals offer a wide range of specialties and have high patient volumes. Private hospitals often offer shorter waiting times, modern infrastructure, and specialised expertise in specific areas.
Under PM-JAY, the treatment is completely cashless at both government and private hospitals. The quality of treatment covered under the scheme should be the same — the hospital cannot provide inferior care to PM-JAY patients compared to paying patients.
