Sharmila accuses Andhra govt of undermining Aarogyasri scheme

Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president YS Sharmila on Tuesday accused the NDA coalition government of “undermining” the State’s flagship health scheme, Aarogyasri. 

Sharmila alleged that the state government has derailed such a great scheme by leaving pending dues of nearly Rs 2,500 crore to



private hospitals for the past one and a half years.

“Aarogyasri (which offers free healthcare to the poor in corporate hospitals) is the lifeline of poor families, a rebirth for the underprivileged, but the coalition government has turned it into Anarogyasri (ill health scheme),” said Sharmila in a release.
