In a detailed representation to Health minister Mukesh Mahaling, the AOPMEF flagged issues including package pricing, operational challenges and software or IT-related difficulties, seeking his intervention to resolve them.
The forum has demanded a minimum of 30 pc increase in package rates over the previous scheme BSKY, stating that the current pricing fails to account for inflation and is financially unsustainable.
